Speaking about packaging, I found that there are SOCI packages on Ubuntu
8.10

$ apt-cache search libsoci
libsoci-core-gcc - C++ Database Access Library (core)
libsoci-core-gcc-dbg - C++ Database Access Library (debug symbols)
libsoci-core-gcc-dev - C++ Database Access Library (devel)
libsoci-mysql-gcc - C++ Database Access Library (MySQL backend)
libsoci-postgresql-gcc - C++ Database Access Library (PostgreSQL backend)
libsoci-sqlite3-gcc - C++ Database Access Library (SQLite3 backend)

 but they are for version 2.2 of SOCI:

ii  libsoci-core-g 2.2.0-4        C++ Database Access Library (core)

The last changelog entry is from Neil Williams <[email protected]> on Sat,
17 May 2008.
It would be nice if that package would be upgraded to SOCI-3.0.

Best regards,
Francisco.
