[ANN] ODB C++ ORM 1.7.0 released, adds support for Oracle

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of ODB 1.7.0.

ODB is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It
allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having
to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of
the mapping code.

Major new features in this release:

  * Support for the Oracle database, including updates to the Boost
    and Qt profiles.

  * Support for optimistic concurrency using object versioning.

  * Support for SQL statement execution tracing.

  * Support for read-only/const data members.

  * Support for persistent classes without object ids.

A more detailed discussion of these features can be found in the
following blog post:
