Background:
I have an application written in native C++ which uses the wxWidgets toolkit’s wxODBC database access library which is being removed from all future versions of wxWidgets . I need to replace this with another database access method that supports the assumptions and contraints outlined below. I don’t require that the replacement use native DBMS APIs or ODBC under the hood, but it must meet the contraints outlined below.
Assumptions/Constraints
The library must:
- Support Native (i.e. unmanaged) C++
- 32-bit Windows 2000/XP/2003
- Visual Studio 2005
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005
- Oracle 9 and 10
- Run-time Performance greater than or equal to wxODBC
- Single programmer API supporting multiple DBMS (e.g. don’t want to write different code for using different DBMS)
Nice but Optional:
- 64-bit Windows operating systems
- 32-bit and/or 64-bit Linux operating systems
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008
- Oracle 11
- MySQL
- Any additional DBMS
- Visual Studio 2008
- Open Source
- Runtime Performance near or equal to native DBMS API
Question:
What good libraries are available – either free, open source or pay – that support multiple DBMS from a single API including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server and can be used from native C++?
Please describe any past experiences you have had – good OR bad – with a given library and why you are making your recommendation for or against a given library, especially in regards to the assumptions and contraints above.

I use SQLAPI++. Well worth a look.
