Andrei, I had a go at odbcd at about the time I first started on mysqld. I must dig it out and get it up to the same state so that I understand ODBC again
But basically from what you're saying, all we need is the ODBC header files translated into D. There appear to be driver managers and plenty of ODBC drivers for Linux. But that does not get us to where I was thinking of. ODBC is not much easier to use than the native C apis for the databases. I had thought that ODBC was just one of the C database apis that we would have to cover. Steve
