I think we should use ODBC as the foundation and build neat
D-ish stuff on top of it. It's a mature technology with tried
and tested drivers available on all major OSs.
Mark Isaacson built an ODBC driver for Presto in D while an
intern at Facebook: https://github.com/prestodb/presto-odbc. We
should write the corresponding ODBC client part and create D
abstractions on top of it.

IMHO, ODBC support may be implemented as a driver, as it's done
in other DB access libraries.
E.g. we have native mysql client written in D - mysqln. It allows
to access MySQL w/o external dependencies.
As well, accessing of SQLite DBs via ODBC seems weird.
