Automatic Casting to Types not working

[Almog Hamdani]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my MySQL Connector C++ to v8.0.16 which lead to problem occurring during the compile of my project.

All the errors are from casting the "mysql::abi2::r0::Value" to different types.
For example, I have this code inside one of my functions:

std::string s;
sql::Row res;

... Fetching from database ...

s = row[0]; // Here is the error

The error I'm having is:

no suitable user-defined conversion from "mysqlx::abi2::r0::Value" to "std::string" exists

But if I use casting it works:

s = (std::string)row[0]; // No error here

In the previous version of MySQL Connector C++ I didn't have this problem.

My question is this is a problem with MySQL Connector or it's a problem with my project?

Thanks in advance!
