Last weekend I started to learn more about C++, my first project is a contacts manager, so I googled a little about how to do some persistence on C++ with minimum code and then I found SOCI.
SOCI is a very small database library which gives us the illusion to be embedding SQL queries in C++ code as the project site says, in fact, this is the beauty behind the library, which makes your C++ code very clean and easy to maintain.
But there’s no way to be productive with C++ programming these days without Boost, this awesome library has several utilities classes which can speedup your development several times, this blog post will show a little more about how these two libraries can help you to develop a database driven console application.
