Hi all.

I'd like to connect to a database, using an ODBC connection,
from a C++ application.

What options do I have, sticking with standard C++ as long
as possible?

I know how to do his through the Qt library, but that's
unavailable at this particular system.

There is the SOCI project which is released under boost license and is
rather standard C++/Boost friendly.
But the ODBC backend is not officially maintained:

iODBC, perhaps? (http://www.iodbc.org). But you'll still need database
driver for your system and database.
