I'm going to come down on the side of those who suggest that you consider other database systems besides mysql.

One suggestion for you: Think BIG!!!

I respectfully disagree, not in intent but in execution.

There is certainly room, and a need (IMHO) for a Universal Async-enabled Database Client library in Boost. We are in full agreement there.

But I would argue that such a library ought to be built on the foundations provided by single-domain libraries maintained by people to understand those domains extremely well.

The hypothetical 'Boost.UniversalDataBaseClient' library could define concepts to which the implementations in (say) 'Boost.MySql' is invited to model.

In this way, someone who is familiar with (say) Postgress or SQLite can easily bring a new implementation to the table.

I think that is what I was trying to suggest. Robert Ramey
