mysqlD

[Steve Teale]

I recently resuscitated a piece of code that I'd originally got going under
Windows, but this time on Ubuntu with the latest MySQL client library.

It could be useful at two levels.

a) I went through the tedious process of translating mysql.h and its
dependencies to mysql.d - so it is possible to use the MySQL client API in D
programs.

b) What I actually wrote was a higher level thing that could presumably be
repeated for other database systems and ODBC

Apart from the basics like connecting, it provides:

execSQL()
execScalar()
execPrepared()
execReader()

and associated functions for setting up parameters, binding, etc, with quite
extensive unit testing of these facilities.

Would it be of any interest for the etc branch of Phobos?
