Yes, I looked and looked but couldnt' find a better solution for this. Race
is an enum.

I asked before on, I believe, this list for the ability to go directly to my
table and was told it couldn't be done. I asked specifically if MySQL++ had
the ability to load directly into a class/structure and was told no. You
are telling me I can do this with SSQLS?

The only difference between this and SSQLS is that you are inserting
into a table object, whereas you insert into a query object with SSQLS.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other as far as I can tell.
Player is my own class with it's own variables. An instance that's being
used by the application. I was told I couldnt' do this in MySQL++

It seems to me that you're trying to reinvent SSQLS. What isn't clear
to me yet is that you've done it better.
