Andrei,
The suggestion in your penultimate paragraph is what I'm trying to get started.
Maybe the answer to the problem with structs may lie somewhere in std.typecons
in
combination with the field discovery features supported by most databases. If we
can manufacture the struct to suit the circumstances, then we've cracked it! I'm
probably talking rubbish - Friday night, couple of beers.
No can do. This is a hard wall. Structs must be defined during
compilation. Database structure can be discovered at run time.
What you can do, however, is that you pass a struct type to store a row
in the resultset and at runtime the fields of the struct are matched
dynamically with the fields in the rowset. That is doable and useful.
I will attempt top start a new thread - [std.database] - your 10 cents worth?
