In my personal c++ studies, I’ve focused on projects that 1) Keep me engaged and 2) Help teach a standard principle. I want to do a project with database access. Which libraries do you think best stick with the c++ programming paradigm?
I understand that this question is open to interpretation, so please elaborate on your choice.
You might consider using the Database Template Library.
It provides a clean, iterator-based interface to access collections of records, so you can use it with all of the Standard Library algorithms. It also does a pretty good job of limiting the boilerplate you need to write to map database entities to user-defined types in your project.
