I thought the MySQL++ page was crystal clear that all correspondence
about MySQL++ should go to the mailing list. If you were looking for a
bug tracker, we do have one of those on the Gna project page, but in
general I'd rather have problems discussed here.

This is probably yet another single-parameter template query bug. You
can search the list for other reports, including the one from Gregory
Gaus on 5/10. The next release of MySQL++ will be aimed at this. I
have no more details to give you. If you want it fixed faster, please
provide a patch.

When posting demonstratino code, it's best to just modify one of the
MySQL++ examples (I'd suggest tquery) to give the same effect. That way
we all have the same database, and the same code.

Why not use the stream interface to Query? This will let you build
arbitrary queries as well. You just have a different code path for each
type of query you need, and insert the variables as required. If you
accept the variables as some generic type, say a template or a
mysqlpp::SQLString, you can make this quite flexible.
