Of course - and please do not take it as an insult, because that is a
natural outcome of how SOCI was made.
SOCI was not developed to meet anybody's requirements and in particular
there was no "customer survey" before the development phase. SOCI was
simply made by people who wanted to make it. If they did not see any
reason to support all possible C++ integer types, then they just did not
do it - it is that simple.
Now we have a different situation - there is a library that is publicly
available and it is judged by potential users (you).
If you think that there is something missing in the library, phrase it
like a valid concern - if you manage to convince the developers, then
they will do the work.

Because there is no built-in support for all possible C++ types.
And it is not there, because people who developed that part of the
library thought that it is not needed.
