Sorry to bother you as probably this question has been asked 10k
times. I searched a bit in the ML archives before posting my question,
I hope to no upset anyone :-)

But I currently am able to find only _outdated_ information about the
current development of a good DB layer for D.

1) I can found good libraries for SQLite3
2) There is some support for MySQL

All other database are somehow supported, but you need to use a
different API for each different DB. There is no common effort to
build an high-level API in a db-indipendent way. Actually there is
one: http://github.com/aaronc/ddbi

I found some information on:
http://www.wikiservice.at/d/wiki.cgi?DatabaseBindings

Before diving in, I must say that the main source of confusion is: How
to understand if a lib has been developed for D1 ? There is a quick
way to see the difference (other than reading the documentation). It
is not lazyness, but often I found only the sources and in the doc
there is no mention about the language version (I can understand it,
if it's been developed years ago, D2 was not born yet at the time of
the writing).

Any suggestion ?

Best,
Gianluigi
