Accessing databases in general and accessing them with an ORM in particular is far more common in Java and C# (due to "enterprise" applications) and in Python, Ruby, PHP (due to popular frameworks for database-backed web applications) than in C or C++. When a database is used in C++, the application is typically not very portable and/or small and simple and/or performance critical and/or not object-centric, and an ORM would offer little or no benefit over using a more direct API.
