I just generated Doxygen docs for libodb and libodb-oracle (with cross-
references):

http://codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/odb/doxygen/libodb/doc/html/

http://codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/odb/doxygen/libodb-oracle/doc/html/

There isn't any "text" documentation in there since we don't use Doxygen
comments in our source code. So can you give it a try and let me know if
it is useful?

You can run any Oracle SQL statement with ODB:

db.execute ("alter session set current_schema = xyz");

So the idea is not to use any schema prefix when defining the objects
so that the current sessions schema is used to create/access their
tables. Then you can execute the above statement at any time you need
to switch to a different schema.
