Normally this is a warning. I think you instructed your VC++ compiler to
treat all warnings as errors. For more information on how to suppress
these warnings/errors, see Section 12.6, "C++ Compiler Warnings" in the
ODB manual.

I assume you are using the database.hxx file from one of the examples.
If so, then you need to define one of the DATABASE_* macros to select
the database that you would like to use (e.g., DATABASE_SQLITE).
Alternatively, you can remove database.hxx and create the database
directly. For example:

#include <odb/sqlite/database.hxx>

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
  odb::sqlite::database db (argc, argv);

  ...
}
