With Visual Studio, Boost uses compiler pragmas to automatically
link to the correct library if/when required.

No, libodb-boost does not link to Boost Date-time library. It is
your application that links to it (via the above mentioned pragmas).

I think this is where the problem is: you are using VC 10 (aka 2010)
while your Boost library is built with VC11 (aka 2012). This has
nothing to do with ODB.

The correct solution is to build Date-time with VC10, the same
version as your application. Normally opening the command prompt
for VC10 command line tools and using the 'msvc' toolset should
do the trick. Or you can try 'msvc-10.0'.
