sqlpp17

This is an experimental rewrite of sqlpp11 to C++17.

It is done from scratch. C++17 makes a lot of things much simpler. Some aspects I described in my CppCon 2017 talk:

However, C++17 is also lacking a couple of really important things, e.g.

• constexpr containers (C++20 will have string and vector)
• constexpr typeid (C++20)
• concepts (C++20)
• reflection (C++??)

Most of the required functionality is present in sqlpp17, but it is not well tested. And seeing what can be expected from C++20, I currently don't believe that I will finish sqlpp17, but rather advance to C++20, soon.

Usage:

Use with cmake: The library officially supports two ways how it can be used with cmake. You can find examples for both methods in the example folder.

1. Fetch content (Recommended, no installation required): See examples/<connector>/usage_fetchContent
2. Find package (installation required, see above): See examples/<connector>/usage_findPackage

Build and Install:

Build from Source:

Download and unpack the latest release from https://github.com/rbock/sqlpp17/releases or clone the repository. Inside the directory run the following commands:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build --target install

Note: You might need admin rights for the last comman

Note:

If you are looking for a production-ready embedded domain specific language for SQL in C++, use sqlpp11.
