Thanks to you both for the links to DTL and OTL, I will check them out 
for a comparison and respond back in a few days with comparisons.

I understand the concern about RTTI.  Currently, I am using 
"odbc_trait<>" classes to handle the mapping and binding of C types to 
the ODBC API at compile time, and I don't use RTTI at all.  
Incorporating boost.variant should be somewhat straightforward, as it 
basically would require another template specialization of the traits 
class.  I wanted that extensibilty as well for clients of the library to 
be able to define their own bindings.  (Of course things are never as 
straightforward as they seem...  ;-)  )
