Accessing a SQL server at compile time seems like a huge abuse

Why do I need to install and set up a MySQL database in order
to build your software?
Lol, who says you have access to my software? You know, the
problem with assumptions is that they generally make no sense
when you actually think about them.
By "I" I meant "someone new coming into the project", such as a
new hire or someone that will be maintaining your program while
you work on other things.
In any case, this is impossible. D has no such concept as
"compile-time-only" values, so any usage of a value risks
embedding it into the binary.
