I understand no such thing.  The answer is simple either way:

	Query q = conn.query("SELECT * FROM command WHERE NAME =");
	q << quote << myCommandName;
	StoreQueryResult res = q.store();
	if (res) {
		// have help for this command
	}
	else {
		// don't have help for this command
	}

Or:

	class command {
	public:
		command(const char* name, const char* help = 0,
			const char* syntax = 0) :
		name_(name),
		help_(help ? help : ""),
		syntax_(syntax ? syntax : "")
		{
		}
		....
		bool operator==(const command& rhs)
		{
			return name_ == rhs.name_;
		}
	private:
		string name_, help_, syntax_;
	};

	vector<commands> vc;

	// populate vector of command objects somehow

	vector<commands>::iterator it = find(vc.begin(), vc.end(),
		command(myCommandName));
	if (it != vc.end()) {
		// have help for this command
	}
	else {
		// don't have help for this command
	}

So, is this a homework problem, or what?
