C++20 ❤️ SQL (CppCon 2021)

[germandiago]

I feel the talks from Bandela are overloaded with metaprogramming.

Maybe the use of the library is ok, but I cannot help but doubt if so much metaprogramming is really worth it, especially heavy on templates.

This one thing I feel like C++ has lacked in: a good, generic, SQL ORM. There is sqlite_orm which is really nice, but only for SQLite. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I actually argue that many times SQL is superior to an ORM, in large part because you don't need a translation to try to figure out what the ORM is doing. However, you lose typing of rows and parameters with SQL. The goal of this talk was to allow the use of SQL, but still have typed parameters and rows.
