Hi,
    This probably ought to be a FAQ. But there is currently no database library 
in boost. There have been some contenders in the past.
I had hopes for SOCI for instance (see e.g. 
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/10/74365.php).
Are there any candidates on the horizon? If not, what unrelated projects would 
people here recommend (or recommend against).

Just for context, I am looking for a "sword against anybody who got into belief 
that (db) programming in the language beginning with 'J' is easier. ;) "
to quote the author of SOCI in the post I mentioned. However, I'm beginning to 
suspect maybe it is easier in Java, not through any
fault in C++ itself but in the success of the Java community versus the lack of 
*recognised* success in the C++ community.

By the way when I search the mailing lists from the link on 
http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html I (and many others) get:
