It's not a very popular part of MySQL++, so you might be the first
person to either find this particular bug, or at least care enough about
it to report it.

You failed to patch MySQL++ to support this use case. :)
If you look down at the bottom of lib/myset.h, you'll see an absence of
a template specialization for mysqlpp::Set. I think adding one will fix
your problem. It looks easy to add, but I'd rather you did it, since as
far as I know, you're the only client for that code.

The conversion from const char* is because all data comes from the MySQL
server as C strings.
The attempt to convert from that to unsigned long is the actual error.
I'm pretty sure the compiler is trying that because it's the
fall-through case, allowing us to get away without providing explicit
conversion paths for all the many integral types, including things like
bool.
