Wait just a minute....it seems that you're trying to insert an arbitrary 
C++ class into the database.  That cannot work.  This is not Java and, 
and MySQL is not an OODB!

You need to use the SQLSS mechanism; in order to copy the data from your 
C++ class to the SQLSS structure, you will create a non-const object on 
the stack, so constness won't be a problem.  See the custom* examples.
