Looking at the soci.h header, it also seems the code needs to be boostified. 
And to find a name that is not tied to a particular vendor. How about 
Boost.Database?

While it is fun to dream about an eventual submission to the standards 
committee, the first step is to get the library ready for a Boost formal 
review. The review spotlights areas needing additional work, and the wide 
scrutiny and exposure of Boost libraries gives the LWG confidence that a 
potential library is actually useful.
