Do you use an ORM with C++? What is a good way to use a database with my C++ code?

Hello,

I'm a C++ newbie and my books don't cover database integration, I have honestly no idea if the C++ world usually uses an ORM like Hibernate or does it uses direct connection to for example MySQL.

I am writing an application that updates a large databaset ever few minutes so I would like to use Mysql / Postgresql or even Redis.

What would you use? Just the C++ driver of mysql (Which is Java?)

Thanks for helping me point in the right direction.

1. ODBC

2. ADO

3. Using some of the Microsoft MFC classes...

My preference is to use the ATL OLE DB Consumer classes.

However, compared to the modern ORMs available in other languages support in C++ lags far behind.

The acronym ORM is new to me so I'm not quite sure in which direction I'm pointing, if any,

okay thanks, so it seems ORMs are not really used in C++, I'm just going to do it directly then.
