best database access library for c++?

[rizwanrafique]

Hi,

In your opinion, whats the db access library for C++ that is free (or freely available) and is fairly popular (most popolar??) and is object oriented and is fairly complaint to the stl? and yea, is available for windows and *nix's? :-)

If not available for windows. Only linux/unix will do.

opinions?

I would look at a multi-platform GUI toolkit's implementation and use that. Something like QT or WxWidgets. They both have ODBC interfaces for multi-platform development.

I may have missed something, but did you just suggest using a GUI library to someone asking about database libraries, Zaita?

Just googling returns a number of things that all look good. I need one that is popular and has a certain business value as well.

Helios: They are multi-platform toolkits. Their functionality is centred around GUIs but they also provide multi-platform functionality for other things like networking, databases etc.
