Hi all!
After 14 years using Perl for programming at job I'm now learning D.
(And enjoying it)
We've been using Perl (at job) for years for loading input data (UTF
files) into a database and using these data for different purposes.
The volume of input data files has been constantly increasing along
the years and, eventually, we need a faster solution, that's the
reason to switch back to compiled languages, and D seemed interesting
enough to give it a try. :-)
As a newbie I've a few questions. I'm already using D and it's working
fine, although I'm writing baby-D the performance improvement is
impressive, I'm now trying to use mysql native access. It seems there
are two possibilities:
- https://github.com/simendsjo/mysqln
- https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/mysql-native
Quite by accident/coincidence, I recently returned to my mysqln effort
to see if it would still build with the latest dmd.
This is great news. If you look at the simendsjo repo, there's a rewrite
in progress, but it's still missing some key features.
The rejectedsoftware repo is the one in production use.
Here's a TODO:

And a recent discussion on github:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/mysql-native/issues/34#issuecomment-39708245
The code is still very much your own with some restructuring and
cleanups, so hopefully you'll feel at home.
