Microsoft SQL Server is important to cover too. I'm pretty sure ODBC works fine for that (there's ODBC bindings for D already, it's part of the Windows headers) and I wrote a little something for my database.d, but I haven't actually tested it yet!
I have some bad experience with ODBC, connecting to SQL Server, from work. It can't handle multiple result sets and it's not very good at handle invalid Unicode characters. This might not be true for ODBC in general but it's a problem we have with the implementation we currently use.
If we don't want to completely role our own implementation I suggest we use freetds directly instead (ODBC uses freetds).
I think it would be good to have an ODBC implementation but it should not be the only way to connect to SQL Server.
