what database ?
ODBC works, especially for sql-server.
However at work we use a home brew binding of
https://vrogier.github.io/ocilib/
which we find well documented and (fairly) easy to use
(this is oracle)

Privately - for Postgresql - I use a binding on top of libpq
which can be found at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26175828/sql.zip

Tested on linux (32 and 64 bit), windows 32 bit, aix 32 bit, mac ppc and
intel
