Having ODBC support in D is definitely important for some kind of applications.
But for most applications which works with some (kind of) database it does not
scale. We really need individual drivers for each of the most popular databases
(even as a C/C++ lib with d binding around it). And I do not think DB
conectivity need to be in phobos.

So as I allready wrote in another reply I think containers stuff are much more
important right now (same as better JSON,XML,BSON...).
