Can ORM ODB for C++ generate code from a database

Question

I am fairly new to this library, and ORM in general. I know tools like EntityFramework can generate code from a database. Can ODB for C++ do this work?

Answer 1

I don't think so. Looking at the main page of the project, there is an example how to use ODB. It seem that you need only add some pragmas here and there:

#pragma db object
class person
{
  ...
private:
  friend class odb::access;
  person () {}

  #pragma db id
  string email_;

  string name_;
  unsigned short age_;
};

but you do that on already present code, so no, it does not generate anything.

Misapprehension

so what this means in the help of the odb, in windows: "--database | -d (db) Generate code for the database (db)" – Maggard

that means you are generating the code between c++ and the db – Christoforo

Answer 2

the QxORM maybe help you to this work. this library use for Qt framework.
