You mean either:

	mysqlpp::Null<mysqlpp::String> &mob = it->mobileNumber;

or:

	mysqlpp::String &mob = it->mobileNumber.data;

Actually, you don't have to use references if you don't want to. 
mysqlpp::String has reference-counted copies, so they're cheap.

Also, I would use mysqlpp::sql_char here instead of String, just to 
avoid confusion.
