1) There seems to be a lot of MySQL-specific stuff in Connection. I guess  
that when/if the time comes, it will be separated into an abstract class  
and a MySQL specialization.
2) Setting parameters seems kinda clumsy. It should be doable with one  
function call with variadic template parameters.
3) In my opinion, querying the database shouldn't involve heap allocations.

I have written an SQLite wrapper (around etc.c.sqlite) for basic  
functionality:

Perhaps you'll find it useful for some insight towards a common interface.
