Please consider to look at the APIs of the other mysql libs, 
maybe there is one
which you can use. I found it easier to use the APIs of  mysql-d 
(https://github.com/paxa/mysql.d) but mysql-lited 
(https://github.com/eBookingServices/mysql-lited) looks more 
enhanced. But here too:

I would be very happy, if in the end there would be only one 
superior mysql-lib for D, so
all can work together to improve this one.
