It seems both ddb and ddbc had the same idea, building a

accessing databases independently of the kind of database. The
difference is that ddb does not seem to have the abstraction

database independent and only works for Postgres. ddbc on the
other hand
does support multiple databases and have the abstraction
layer. So at
this point ddb is basically a Postgres driver and nothing
more.
ddb was written with multiple databases in mind, mostly
postgres, mysql and sqlite. db.d (DBRow definition) is
database independent. postgres.d contains PGConnection,
PGCommand, etc. Other backends should provide their own
classes like MySqlConnection, MySqlCommand and so on. Then
it's trivial to add an abstraction layer that chooses between
different backends depending on the connection string for
example.
Regarding ddb maintainability, thank you for your interest, I
can add you both (Jacob and Eugene) to my repository as
collaborators, you will have full access to repo, pull
requests and issues. If I will ever need ddb in some of my
project I would still have access to my repo to make some
changes. If the project will grow bigger than expected we
could move it to the new repo later. Is that okay for you?
yes, it is for sure ok for me. It can be a good start.
I think may be we should discuss if we can/should change
something in ddb. I think there were some interesting and
promising ideas in this discussion. Maybe split the PostgreSQL
driver and develop it seperately and use an interface more
similar to JDBC. Maybe some kind of coworking with ddbc is
possible to get more developers together; maybe Suliman has
some thoughts on it.
I like idea to have one good driver instead of two of not
finished, and would like that it ships as vibe-d module. For my
regret I have not enough so experience to help with developing.
But if you will decide to collaborate with ddbc developer (he is
also russian-speaker) it will be very cool.
