I'm going to come down on the side of those who suggest that you 
consider other database systems besides mysql.

One suggestion for you: Think BIG!!!

Consider the following:

you've got some sort class like

class mysql {
        record query("...");
        record get_next();
        // or something like that
        ...
};

Would it that hard to:

class sql {
        record query("...") = 0;
        record get_next() = 0;
        // or something like that
};

class mysql : public sql {
        record query("..."){...}
        record get_next(){...}
        ...
};

class obdc : public sql {
        ...
};

main(){
        sql & s = obdc(...);
        record r = s.query(...); ...
        ...
}

so that one could/would write backend independent code?  I would think 
that this would be the SQL killer app for C++
