//! \section synopsis Synopsis
//! This library provides a wrapper API for the native ODBC API. It aims to do everything ODBC does, but with a \b much nicer interface.
//! Anything it doesn't (yet) do can be done by retrieving the native ODBC handles and dropping down to straight ODBC C API code.
//! For more propaganda, please see the <a href="http://lexicalunit.github.com/nanodbc/">project homepage</a>.
