Sorry to bother you as probably this question has been asked 10k

I hope to no upset anyone :-)
But I currently am able to find only _outdated_ information about the
current development of a good DB layer for D.
1) I can found good libraries for SQLite3
2) There is some support for MySQL
All other database are somehow supported, but you need to use a
different API for each different DB. There is no common effort to
build an high-level API in a db-indipendent way. Actually there is
one: http://github.com/aaronc/ddbi
I found some information on:
http://www.wikiservice.at/d/wiki.cgi?DatabaseBindings
Did you checked the DDBI project?
http://dsource.org/projects/ddbi
I don't know if it has been updated of lately, but it's purpose was to
create a common D interface among several databases.
Before diving in, I must say that the main source of confusion is: How
to understand if a lib has been developed for D1 ? There is a quick
way to see the difference (other than reading the documentation). It
is not lazyness, but often I found only the sources and in the doc
there is no mention about the language version (I can understand it,
if it's been developed years ago, D2 was not born yet at the time of
the writing).
Any suggestion ?
Look for methods or functions or variables that manipulate string
characters. If the type used is string, wstring or dstring, then it's
almost guaranteed that is a D2 project. Conversely, if the type used is
char[], wchar[] or dchar[], and there's no usage of the former types, then
it's a D2 project.
Also. Check for imported modules, if you find modules from the Tango
Project (tango.foo.bar, tango.baz.bar, etc), then it's a D1 project. Tango
only works with D1.
Best,
Gianluigi
