SOCI is a C++ database access library that lets developers embed SQL queries naturally in standard C++ code, with object-relational mapping and STL/Boost datatype integration. It uses a plug-in backend architecture supporting DB2, Firebird, MySQL, ODBC, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3.

Use cases

query SQL databases from C++
map database rows to C++ objects
access Oracle from C++
use SQLite in a C++ application
write database-agnostic C++ code with pluggable backends
bind Boost and user-defined types to SQL queries

When to choose

you want a lightweight, natural SQL interface in standard C++
you need to support multiple database backends with one API
you want ORM-like row mapping without a heavy framework

When to avoid

you need a full-featured ORM with migrations and schema management
your project is not C++ or uses a database without a SOCI backend
you prefer header-only or async-first database libraries
