PostgreSQL's protocol is stable since 2003, but MySQL's is not very
friendly indeed. Phobos might follow opportunistic path and support
direct access with recent MySQL versions and C wrapper for older ones.
But it looks like the C wrapper approach for MySQL won't fly for Phobos
because of the GPL taint. MySQL support might have to be consigned to
the
Deimos 'derived works' directory. Either that or Phobos only supports
versions > 5.xx.

Do people not upgrade their database to MySQL 5? I never had to deal
with that and especially large complicated databases. If it is easy to
upgrade to MySQL 5 and it is faster and more secure there are probably
few *actively developed* projects accessing MySQL 4 DBs. (MySQL 5 is
pretty much exactly 6 years old now.)
I found this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml#doc_chap1
Leaving away the safety net it looks like a call to mysql_upgrade_shell is
all that's needed in the general case.
