I think next Database API should support these types.
I don't think this is the way to go, as there is a huge conceptional
difference between relational database systems and »NoSQL« systems such
as, say, CouchDB or Cassandra.
It's an open question.
Ruby / Rails has Arel (note that Arel is data access abstraction,
not database access abstraction. But Database access is a part of data
access).
Haskell has Database.Persistent.
I think other languages will support similar library in the future.
How would such a unified API look like?
I don't have a detail.
I already implemented it if I had a detailed design.
In my D tasks, database related task is low priority...
