create_schema() function is generated by ODB as static which means it
should be local to the translation unit (.cxx file). Can you verify
that they are indeed static? That is, the signature should be:

static bool
create_schema (...)

If they are, then it would appear that your C++ compiler is ignoring
static for some reason. Which C++ compiler/platform are you using?

It could also be something silly, like defining a pre-processor
macro named 'static'.
