Object Orientation give us the posibility of a great API:  "backwards" 
compatibility must not forece us to "think" on C APIS... (imagine using 
8086 non protected model... i386 allows you to do it, but you can't 
imagine a good operative system without CPU memory protection support 
becaus he has to mantain "backward" compatibility with 8086 memory model).

The main thing here is "unified way to"... there is a lot of C libraries 
for data acces... The "lovely" way is to select only one standarization 
choice (Object Orientation, please):  escape of simple C libraries 
API... free your mind.

C Database libraries are the basis.  D OOFramework is the 
infraestructure "high" level programmers need.
