Even with mysql (using mysql-native), the absent of something like

struct User {
     @optional int userName; //its ok if row doesn't have this 
column
     @as("phone_number") string phoneNumber;
     ....
}

User[] users;
....
foreach(row; ...)
{
     users ~= row.toStruct!User;
}
....


MongoDB has facilities for these stuff automatically thats why 
using it seem convenient and speeds up stuff. Mysql-lited does 
this thing but the package does allow much control nor give much 
query info like mysql-native.


I've heard good news about postgresql however, its driver could 
still benefit from this kind of abstraction using CTFE and UDAs.
