 Hello Denis,

 I have no doubt that Boost.Test works well, I used it in several projects
(CMake -- not so much, but it's a different story) and until recently it
was my preferred C++ unit testing framework. But then I discovered CATCH
and was really impressed by it, although, again, I didn't use it enough to
be sure that it scales well, and I also think it's a nice match for SOCI as
it doesn't need to be built and is also more lightweight/even less
restrictive than Boost.Test and so it should be easier to transition to it.
Also, it is still actively developed and improved, unlike Boost.Test which
hasn't changed for years. So I think it could be interesting to try using
CATCH. After all, why not?

 Thanks, this should definitely be useful if we go this way. But personally
I'd still be curious to try using CATCH.
