This is the source of your confusion.  The "owner" is always a .cpp 
file.  .h files declare things, .cpp files define them.  At issue is the 
*definition* of the static data members of your SSQLS, so it's a matter 
for a .cpp file.

MYSQLPP_SSQLS_NO_STATICS doesn't go in the .h file either, unless you 
guard it like in the second example in my excerpt from the new manual. 
If you're taking the first, simpler path, it only goes in .cpp files 
above the #include for all but one module.
