Recommended C++ Database Abstraction Layers

Question

What Database Abstraction Layer libraries would you recommend for use with C++? I am more interested in solutions for non-Windows platforms, but that is personal preference. Which libraries would you recommend and why?

Take a look at SOCI

Apparently, it is a serious candidate for Boost.

Personally, I like the database template library.

I'd recommend using an ODBC library.

Here are the first two when I googled:

libodbc++

sqlapi++
