d-dbapi ALPHA-3 released

[BLS]

Hi Myron,
seems to be a quit flexible design, but in fact it is not.
Why ?
Your code is very next to SQLite, but what about the rest of the World.
And I am not only talking about MySQL or PostgreSQL etc., I am simply 
talking about stored data. !?

Next :
Your design expects that the developer has an concrete idea about the 
underlying database/data architechture. Unfortunately this is not 
allways the case. Often You have to deal with with an unknown, or 
particular unknown design. That said I mean the DAO "solution" (which 
you do not like) is more flexible and versatile. And even the DAO 
pattern can be extended ... simply by examining the Database /System 
Tables/

Well, also the DDBI folks have that discussion, but I am afraid that, 
thanks to a lot of ignorance, it will end up to an zero result event.

Furthermore it is quit frustrating to see an active record 
implementation in PHP,Ruby and other scripting languages ...  but 
nothing comparable f.i. in D. Simply means CTFE is not worth the effort.

However Your development-goal is different to mine and I think in it s 
playground you have done an excellent Job.

Cheers,
Bjoern
