[odb-users] Passing persistence object to smart pointer

[Bright Dadson]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to pass persistence object person as used in 
the demo to auto_ptr?
I tried auto_ptr<person> joan(new person());

and got below exception which I immediately thought I am violating the usage of 
my persistence object.
But having still thought of this - I was wondering if it is possible to pass 
ownership to smart pointers without 

below exception been spat.

Exception:
usr/local/include/odb/database.ixx: In person function ‘typename 
odb::object_traits<T>::id_type odb::database::persist(const P<T>&) [with T = 
person, P = std::auto_ptr]’:
