The VTK interface provides several backends (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite,
ODBC) so as long as your SQL queries work with those backends, you can
change the type of database being used without changing your code.
vtkSQLDatabase and vtkSQLQuery were not designed to provide access to
every feature of the database the way that MySQL++ or other
database-specific implementations do.
