Welcome to D DBI

Description

D DBI is a database independent interface for the D programming language.

Status

D DBI has been around for a while now, but most of the time in a hiatus / maintance mode. This has led to some bitrot, and so a lot that used to work probably doesn't as it is presented in trunk. Work to get D DBI back to former glory and beyond has started though, and this time with certain commercial interests in the back.

The number of available backends may suffer due to this work, at least initially - as the functionality in the revised interfaces will be larger. Depending somewhat on contributions from others, the likely prioritization of backends will be Mysql, Sqlite and PostreSQL - beyond that contributions is a necessity. It is possible that such contributions can be in the form of drivers aka those found for JDBC, though - if plans for dynamic loading of functionality/plugins are properly implemented.

An initial release of the revised D DBI (the first release for a long long time) will hopefully be possible during June 2008.

Update 24th of July: I got delayed ... I'm now aiming for mid-August.

Documentation

The documentation for the most recent version can be found here.

Another recommended way to learn how to use D DBI is to look at the unittests in the SqliteDatabase file.

Sample Code

import dbi.sqlite.SqliteDatabase;
import dbi.Row;
import tango.io.Stdout;

void main() {
    SqliteDatabase db = new SqliteDatabase();
    db.connect("test.db");

    Row[] rows = db.queryFetchAll("SELECT * FROM names");
    foreach (Row row; rows) {
        Stdout("name:")(row["name"]).newline()("zip:")(row["zip"]).newline();
    }

    db.close();
}
