Thank you for posting link to your library.

I think we need to collect different ideas about useful and handy API,
and then try to work out D-style DB interface.

And it's very good that there is somebody who work with Postgres - but
for generic interface we will need to use minimal possibilities set,
present on all databases - or make some "layered" structure, like ranges
(by the way, SELECT result is a forward range by it's nature, so it would
be reasonable to make it conforming to Forward Range specification.

I am sure that there are many good design possibilities, and the more code  
and
ideas we have from different developers, the more chances to work out great
"idiomatic D-style" DB layer. So if anyone else have DB related library in  
D
(apart from those that listed in Wiki and posted in thet thread) - please  
share
your vision.
