+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:

+
+This package contains the Boost ODB profile library. The Boost profile
+provides support for persisting Boost smart pointers, containers, and
+value types with the ODB system.
