I recently resuscitated a piece of code that I'd originally got going under
Windows, but this time on Ubuntu with the latest MySQL client library.

It could be useful at two levels.

a) I went through the tedious process of translating mysql.h and its
dependencies to mysql.d - so it is possible to use the MySQL client API in D
programs.

b) What I actually wrote was a higher level thing that could presumably be
repeated for other database systems and ODBC

Apart from the basics like connecting, it provides:

execSQL()
execScalar()
execPrepared()
execReader()

and associated functions for setting up parameters, binding, etc, with quite
extensive unit testing of these facilities.

Would it be of any interest for the etc branch of Phobos?

Even if it isn't I'd be quite interested in seeing the code. I was (with the 
intention of returning too) working on something similar (about halfway 
through) as a task for getting me writing some D code. I've got connecting, 
queries and was most of the way through getting some templates set up for 
convenient prepared statements, no unit tests etc though. Would be nice to 
see how someone else achieved the same task to see how else I could have 
developed the code.
