That's mine. I use it all the time; nothing super fancy, but it gets the job done for me. I didn't really document it... but the basic usage is simple: auto mysql = new MySql("hostname, "username", "password", "database_name"); int userId = getMyUserId(); foreach(line; mysql.query("SELECT id, name FROM something WHERE user_id = ?", userId)) { line["id"] == line[0] line["name"] == line[1] } The columns are returned as strings. The query returns a simple range, so you can also check .empty, get .front, etc.

Hmm.. Seems my previous message was lost in the void. As it resides in this big misc repository, does it have many dependecies? Would you mind if the module was added to vibe, and thus relicensed to MIT? No idea if the vibe folks would actually want that though :)

It depends on the database.d module in there too. (database.d provides the base interface and some common functions with other db providers.) That's it though, D wise. It also uses the mysql C library so you'll need libmysql on your system for it to link too.

My stuff is all free to take as far as I'm concerned, but since this uses libmysql it might technically be GPL. I don't really know. But if you're ok with that, you can have it.

If that's the case, using this lib will make your entire project GPL. I think the britseyeview version was an attempt by Steve Teale to write a non-GPL lib that used the protocol spec from MySQL for inclusion in Phobos. Not sure where it stands. -Steve

Actually, it looks like the vibe folks are using my fork of Steve Teales mysqln. I had hoped to contact Steve first, so that these changes existed in one place. https://github.com/JollieRoger All of the changes exist in individual branches off the master branch. Git will merge these into one file fuzzily. What they are is as follows: seperatemain - split main() into its own file (app.d in vibe). seperatemainwithport - main() using branch addporttoconnection. addporttoconnection - add no standard port selection to Connection. fixfordmd2058 - cosmetic changes to work with dmd-2.058. fixresultset - allow the return of an empty resultset. When iterating schema, test had no tables and would crash. fixconnection - would only connect to localhost in Steve's code. I have other changes that I haven't pushed up yet relating to NUMERIC and null variants with a more detailed main.d. Vibe.d looks interesting, I hope these fixes help.

Yes, your patches has been merged. Of course it would be best to have everything database complete already, but I'm glad it's been merged as-is for now - it might take a long time (and has already) before a generic database interface is completed.

Hi simendsjo, I now see your repository at: https://github.com/simendsjo/mysqln Is there a way that we can have one central repository that people can pull from. I would like it to be Steve's since that is the one everybody knows, but I am not sure he wants to manage pull requests and such (If your are listening Steve, please weigh in). He seems to be enjoying "Adventures in Woodworking" and may not have any fingers left when he finishes his latest project (just joking, read your blog). Otherwise, maybe we could use your repository listed above. My goal is not a generic database interface discussed previously in these groups. I just want an interface for mysql/mariadb and less so for postgresql at this point.

I did a small patch for it to compile for x64. Vibe.d has patches to use it's internal stream library, so that would probably be hard to patch back to Steve. I was thinking of deleting my project and forking from vibe.d to do pull requests against that as I thought that would be the most used repository Not sure how we should go about this, but I agree fragmentation is bad. Hope Steve can chip in as it's his code and he has plans for a generic interface.

Looking at the code of mysql.d I see a big switch with many cases like "case 0x01: // TINYINT". But then there's the SQLType enum with those constants. Why the enum values are not used in the cases? (and also in other parts of the code?)

Ah, I see. The last commit is 6 months old. I tried to compile mysql.d ---
 dmd -c mysql.d
/usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/exception.d(492): Error: constructor mysql.MySQLException.this (string msg, string file, uint line) is not callable using argument types (string,string,ulong) /usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/exception.d(492): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (line) of type ulong to uint mysql.d(105): Error: template instance std.exception.enforceEx!(MySQLException).enforceEx!(ulong) error instantiating (...) (and more...) --- It's sad. I always want to give D a chance. And when I do I always bump into errors and inconveniences. I thought, maybe the project is 6 months old, it's not compatible anymore with the current DMD (but my code really doesn't break at all with new Ruby versions, for example). I thought of trying to fix the error. Apparently I need to compile it with -m32 so that lengths of arrays are uint instead of ulong. ---
 dmd -c -m32 mysql.d
mysql.d(4185): Error: cannot cast r.opIndex(cast(uint)j).get!(ulong) mysql.d(4201): Error: cannot cast r.opIndex(cast(uint)j).get!(ulong) mysql.d(4204): Error: cannot cast r.opIndex(cast(uint)j).get!(ulong) --- (What does it mean "cannot cast"? Give me the reason, please...) Or maybe instead of the flag the code is wrong and instead of uint it needs to be size_t. But I still get errors. Every time I want to start coding in D, or helping some project, I stumble into all kind of troubles. But I wonder... is this case in particular D's fault or the library's fault? (if the answer is "the project is 6 months old, of course it won't compile" then it's D's fault)

I have the same feeling. I used D quite a lot around 1.007-1.0028, and every library broke with each release. And new bugs were introduced each release. It was a big PITA. It seems the situation has gotten a lot better, so I hope I'll be able to use D for a small project now. As for mysqln, I merged jrogers patches and changed uint to size_t so it compiles on x64. You can look at it here: https://github.com/simendsjo/mysqln/tree/compile-on-recent-dmd It hasn't been tested beyond connecting to the database and fetching metadata yet. And my repository will go away very soon as I'll rather help with the original library (if Steve Teale comes back) or the one in vibe.

Thanks for sharing the modified code. I was able to compile it without any issue and I am able to fetch the meta data. I will be testing more to run insert and select queries. But I found a bug in the code. If you don't specify the password for your test mySQL server then the mysql.d fails. It is always expecting a password and on empty password it throws the exception. file: mysql.d function: open [line 1415] I think when it calls _socket.send then it fails. So far other that this issue, it is working good and if it gets stable then certainly I will move forward with a project in D Language. I will be using the mongoDB and mySQL so this driver will be important for me, in fact for other's too as they mentioned in this thread. One question though, is it thread safe? Thanks for everyone's effort to make this driver work!

Ah, finally, someone has found Steve Teale's batcave. It seems that you are not too far from having it compiled. If you end up succeeding, maybe you can propose him to update his file, so that we can benefit ? Looking at his code, it seems to me that he is very far from the original goal, which was to make a generic database driver. This one seems completely linked to MySQL and will need to be completely rewritten for Postgres. Am I wrong ?

OK, never mind, I should have read before jumping in. I asked where this code was a few weeks ago, and got no answer, so I'm quite glad that this comes up. I haven't tested the driver, but at least, it compiles fine.

There is one small compilation error on the postgres driver line 44. I'm not sure it's the right thing to do but changing the offending type to size_t seems to do the trick.
