Good question. A wrong approach since we talk about DB support. 
Design the Interface first, would be the solution.
Then decide what you want. DAL, or Active Record. Then create a 
DSL, or LINQ or whatsoever.
Since you are a Python guy, the data access layer from web2py is 
simply excellent. But I doubt that D, respective phobos, will 
ever have more than rudimentary db support.
