I think the best C++ API is the IscDbc library in the Odbc driver.

IscDbc is a C++ binding to the Java JDBC interface. It was designed to
be as faithful as possible to the letter and the spirit of JDBC, a
pragmatic but defensible encapsulation of object semantics to relational
databases.

It is my intention to develop the IscDbc interface as the primary
external and internal interfaces to Firebird.

The existing IscDbc component is a implemented as a client library, but
the nature of the beast allows are re-implementation as a native
interface with low overhead plumbing into the bowels of the beast.
