I put Boost.Database in the sandbox.

I just started reading the docs for SOCI, but I don't think my library
does much that SOCI doesn't.  My library has a very simple iterator
based interface with no facilities for exchanging data other than simple
gets.  Once that had been accepted I had planned on releasing a full
fledged serialization library on top of it, but then I got busy with
other things...  The serialization part was much more exciting than the
basic interface.

One issue I remember confronting was string representation.  How would
SOCI handle that?  I ended up having to make everything a template.

Anyway, if you need a hand with anything in SOCI I'd love to help out.
