I hope you don't mean 9.00 (or any 9.0x) -- that has been obsolete
for, oh, 7 years!

You can do it if you code it. Your best bet is probably to write
suitable iterator classes in C++, and implement their data collection
qualities by calling onto C code (extern "C" functions) which, in
turn, use ESQL/C. Alternatively, you can use the non-STL C++ code
distributed with ClientSDK. There's at least one article in the IIUG
archives about using ESQL/C with C++, including scripts and toy code.
The toy code is just enough to demonstrate that it works -- it isn't
even an attempt at implementing STL (it pre-dates the standardization
of STL, come to that).
