First thing a D programmer MUST do is

1) To port FreeTDS to D, or write a binding/wrapper for it 
(should not be too difficult).

or

2) Use ODBC directly, or maybe also write some wrapper around it.

or

3) Implement D connector to MS SQL server directly (I would 
advise against that, such project would probably be 10x bigger 
than the DMD project itself)

My advice - use ODBC, it is the fastest way you may connect to 
the SQL server, and you already have everything you need for 
that. :)
