Aye, I've done some postgres, but since my main work app
uses mysql I haven't spent a lot of time on it.

While basic queries I'm pretty sure work right, I haven't used
any of the more advanced features (partially because mysql doesn't
have any).

Right now, I think this could be done with my stuff, but it
doesn't really exist yet.

There's http api like things available in web.d, but it isn't
SOAP or have WSDL... again, it just hasn't come up for me.


I was replacing php with D more than replacing Java :)



It's slowly growing though! As stuff comes up that I
need for me, I'll write it.
