Nothing prevents you from using two profiles at the same time. The
easiest way to get boost::shared_ptr as the default pointer is to 
make sure the -p (or --profile) ODB compiler option for Boost comes
after Qt, for example:

odb -d mysql -p qt -p boost file.hxx

Alternatively, you can override the default pointer type with the
--default-pointer option explicitly:

odb -d mysql -p boost -p qt --default-pointer boost::shared_ptr file.hxx

Note that --default-pointer must come after all th -p options.
