I took a quick look, and my first impression is that the library doesn't 
do enough to prevent SQL injection attacks.  Yes, text queries are 
convenient when the full query is known at compile-time.  Yes, security 
is ultimately the responsibility of those who use the API.  Yes, this is 
C++, where far worse security flaws are a constant threat.  Even so, 
connection::query gives me shivers.
