Hm, I am not aware of any C++11 smart pointers that have been deprecated
in C++17. Which smart pointers are you referring to?

Perhaps you are not invoking the ODB compiler with the --std c++11
option and are therefore getting C++98 auto_ptr?

If you get the latest pre-release[1], it supports --std c++14 and
--std c++17. We ourselves use code generated with --std c++14 in
quite a few projects that are compiled with up to C++23 without
any issues.
