+ODB is an object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It provides
+tools, APIs, and library support that allow you to persist C++ objects
+to a relational database (RDBMS) without having to deal with tables,
+columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of the mapping code.
+For more information see:

+http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/
+
+This package contains the Microsoft SQL Server ODB runtime library.
+Every application that includes code generated for the SQL Server
+database will need to link to this library.
+
+See the NEWS file for the user-visible changes from the previous release.
