使用SOCI C ++数据库访问库的增强元组行集的问题

Question

I have a compilation error when using rowset of tuples with the latest soci and boost libraries.

I found an example on the net but it does not compile with the version of SOCI that I use and which is the latest.

The portion which is causing issue is this one:

typedef std::vector<boost::tuple<double, double> > V;

soci::rowset<boost::tuple<double, double> > rows
        = sql.prepare << "select x(location),y(location) from cities";

Here is the complete code that I got from an example on the net:

#include <soci.h>
#include <soci-postgresql.h>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
#include <boost/optional.hpp>
#include <boost/timer.hpp>
#include <boost/random.hpp>
#include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <ostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <exception>

int main()
{
    try
    {
        soci::session sql(soci::postgresql, "dbname=ggl user=ggl password=ggl");

    int count;
    sql << "select count(*) from cities", soci::into(count);
    std::cout << "# Capitals: " << count << std::endl;

    typedef std::vector<boost::tuple<double, double> > V;

    soci::rowset<boost::tuple<double, double> > rows
        = sql.prepare << "select x(location),y(location) from cities";
    V vec;
    std::copy(rows.begin(), rows.end(), std::back_inserter(vec));

    for (V::const_iterator it = vec.begin(); it != vec.end(); ++it)
    {
        std::cout << it->get<0>() << " " << it->get<1>() << std::endl;
    }
}
catch (std::exception const &e)
{
    std::cerr << "Error: " << e.what() << '\n';
}
return 0;

}

It fails on the following line:

   soci::rowset<boost::tuple<double, double> > rows
            = sql.prepare << "select x(location),y(location) from cities";

And here is the error which I don quite understand:

Any idea of what could be the cause?

Thanks a lot! Ludovic

A solution was

1/ to add parenthesis soci::rowset > rows = (sql.prepare << "select x(location),y(location) from cities");

2/ to do what is proposed as answer: #include or the #define

Answer 1

Have you tried adding this header?

#include <boost-tuple.h>

Alternatively, you can use:

#define SOCI_USE_BOOST

before including soci.h
