Looking at the code of mysql.d I see a big switch with many cases like
"case 0x01: // TINYINT". But then there's the SQLType enum with those
constants. Why the enum values are not used in the cases? (and also in
other parts of the code?)

Ah, I see.
The last commit is 6 months old.
I tried to compile mysql.d
---
> dmd -c mysql.d
/usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/exception.d(492): Error: constructor
mysql.MySQLException.this (string msg, string file, uint line) is not
callable using argument types (string,string,ulong)
/usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/exception.d(492): Error: cannot implicitly
convert expression (line) of type ulong to uint
mysql.d(105): Error: template instance

It's sad. I always want to give D a chance. And when I do I always bump
into errors and inconveniences.
I thought, maybe the project is 6 months old, it's not compatible
anymore with the current DMD (but my code really doesn't break at all
with new Ruby versions, for example). I thought of trying to fix the
error. Apparently I need to compile it with -m32 so that lengths of
arrays are uint instead of ulong.

(What does it mean "cannot cast"? Give me the reason, please...)
Or maybe instead of the flag the code is wrong and instead of uint it
needs to be size_t. But I still get errors.
Every time I want to start coding in D, or helping some project, I
stumble into all kind of troubles.
But I wonder... is this case in particular D's fault or the library's
fault? (if the answer is "the project is 6 months old, of course it
won't compile" then it's D's fault)
