Denis Arnaud prepared RPM packages for SOCI library version 3.0.0. As Denis explains, these RPM packages primarily target Fedora family, but should work on other RPM-based distributions.
Currently, SOCI 3.0.0 RPM packages are available to download from Open Travel Request Parser project website. By the way, I’ve revealed Open Travel Request Parser uses SOCI, it’s really nice.
SOCI is a database access library for C++ that makes the illusion of embedding SQL queries in the regular C++ code, staying entirely within the Standard C++. It also fits very well to the world of templates defined in C++ Standard Library and offers extensive integration with data types from Boost C++ Libraries like optional, tuple and fusion:
Rowset rs = (sql.prepare << "select name from persons");
std::copy(rs.begin(), rs.end(), std::ostream_iterator(cout, "\n")); Not to mention the coolness of flexible support for user-defined types.
