We already have a boost mysql library, and a redis library. Now we want to introduce a sqlite library, and maybe tomorrow a keydb library, a dragonfly library, a postgres library, a db2 library and so on...
I mean, this is a lot of fragmentation, for tools that are, in my opinion, tiny wrappers over native connection libraries, and thich the purpose is the same, executing queries. What's the big advantage of using those libraries instead than native ones?
Neither mysql nor Redis are wrappers around anything nor tiny. They're protocol implementations.
