Nice work!  I'd like to see the API become a bit more D-like though.  For example, with overloading and the index operator, prepared statement parameters could be set like:

   st[0] = "hello world"; 

Similar with ResultSet for indexing, along with possibly an alternate way to specify the desired type:

    rs[0].to!string();
    rs[0].asString;
    rs["stringType"].to!string();

For licensing, have you considered the Boost license?
