Hi,

We reciently upgraded from the older version of mysql++ 1.7.9 (g++ 2.95.4) to mysql++ 1.7.31 (g++ 3.4.4) and found all our code was broken. After looking into it we discovered the new lookup_by_name() and found this thread. I guess we didn't read the release notes that closely :-(

Turns out, we make heavy use of the Row::operator[](const char *). As a matter of fact, none of the code uses the Row::operator[](int) or Row::operator[](size_type). We used the Row::operator[](const char *) because we didn't want to depend on the order of the columns.

We will give your patch a try and let you know how it works.
