Are you referring to:

   http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/10/94666.php

?
I'm unsure because there, instead of people, there was
products, and instead of customer, there was customers
and also some other minor differences.

OK.  Now I *think* I'm beginning to understand your
reluctance to use macros.  The macro method can
be used to create the original table with meaningful
row names:

   struct mytable
   {  std::string first_name
   ;  int social_security_number
   ;};

but, obviously, there's no way to specify the
tuple -> tuple mapping mentioned above
using a macro, AFAICT.
