Thanks for the link- that is very interesting. It looks like I can get
what I need from it. 

IN rough comparison, it looks like the MYSQL++ library may be a bit more
"normal" looking to DB developers who are used to disconnected
recordsets, but it looks like the OTL libraries have far greater power.

At the end of the day- I believe that a balance between "recordset"-ish
model of MYSQL++ and the power of OTL would be a good combination.

A library is not useful if it is too hard to get up to speed on OR too
terribly different from what people are used to.
