In the past I have used FreeTDS, through PHP, and it had a lot of

Last year I messed around with the ODBC wrapper and got amazingly poor
performance, I believe the project was abandoned before I figured out
the problem. Anybody actually using this in D? I'll have to write some
tests and fire up the SQL profiler.
We used Ruby on Rails with an SQL Server at my previous work. We used
TinyTDS which uses FreeTDS. It worked surprisingly well but it did had
some problems. One of those problems were encoding problems, but that
mostly because we used an older version of SQL Server.
It was probably around 2011 when last I used FreeTDS, and even then I
think it was an older version, so it's quite possible those issues have
been resolved. My bias against it probably unjustified. We are only
targeting Windows anyway so ODBC is probably a safe bet.
Should be easy to extract the necessaries for a generic ODBC driver for
D from https://github.com/prestodb/presto-odbc. -- Andrei
