Why does C++ need another database access library? First, nothing has been standardized yet. Secondly, we did not found a library which satisfied our needs of abstraction:
1. Driver abstraction: the API should be the same regardless of the database vendor.
2. SQL syntax abstraction: the API user should be able to write portable SQL queries regardless of the underlying vendor.
3. Runtime driver selection: user code should be able to switch accross database vendors at runtime without any need to recompile.
3. Runtime driver selection: user code should be able to switch across database vendors at runtime without any need to recompile.
4. No data model definition: user code should be able to access the database without providing the data model to the API. ORM should be built on top of `CDBC` and not the other way around.

`CDBC` tries to answer those requirements by providing a common abstraction of sql execution accross databases and at the same time an abstraction of the SQL dialect used by database. It offers a low-level building block for applications and higher level frameworks alike.

We have built upon the previous work of Johan Anhofer published as [N3886: A proposal to add a Database Access Layer to the Standard Library](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n3886.pdf "N3886 draft"), amended it on some parts and completed it mainly on SQL dialect abstraction.
We plan to write and submit a draft proposal to the C++ normalization committee.
