+SOCI is a database access library for C++ that makes the illusion of
+embedding SQL queries in the regular C++ code, staying entirely within
+within the Standard C++.
+
+The idea is to provide C++ programmers a way to access SQL databases
+in the most natural and intuitive way. If you find existing libraries
+too difficult for your needs or just distracting, SOCI can be a good
+alternative.
