  1. ODB is an open-source, cross-platform, and cross-database object-
  2. relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It allows you to persist
  3. C++ objects to a relational database without having to deal with
  4. tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any mapping
  5. code.
  6. ODB supports MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and
  7. Microsoft SQL Server relational databases as well as C++98/03 and
  8. C++11 language standards. It also comes with optional profiles
  9. for Boost and Qt which allow you to seamlessly use value types,
  10. containers, and smart pointers from these libraries in your
  11. persistent C++ classes.
  12. The ODB system consists of several packages. The essential packages
  13. are the ODB compiler (odb), the common runtime library (libodb),
  14. and the database-specific runtime library (libodb-<database>).
  15. For example, if you are planning to use MySQL, then the set of
  16. packages that you will need would be: odb, libodb, and libodb-mysql.
