I have a bunch of files that constitute my bindings to FreeTDS for MSSQL/Sybase.
| Code: | > ll *.d

Should I put them all in one imp.d file, or have imp.d import them from a sub-folder?
Or, should I move only the necessary wrappers into a new imp.d file? For instance, I'm using the ctlib, so I wouldn't need much of the sqldb,sqlfront stuffs.

If I remember the size of FreeTDS correctly, it would be somewhat excessive for a single file. If it's reasonable after the conversion to D (50 to 75 kB or so), go ahead and put it in an imp.d. Otherwise, just put it all in a subdirectory called imp and it can be imported from there.
That said, can I assume from this (especially a .d version of all the important files) that you are either completely or nearly done? If it's ready, I can include it in the next version of D DBI under the new BSD license. Regardless, thank you! |

Well, the dir listing might be impressive, but it was GregorR's bcd that did the bindings automatically. I'm still trying to go through getting each fieldtype and the values from them. Then I will integrate with ddbi, so I still have a ways to go.
Done:
int
float
varchar,nvarchar
money,smallmoney
ToDo:
datetime, smalldatetime (in process)
decimal,numeric (may already work, need to test)
text
Low Priority:
all other types, like binary, varbinary, timestamp, table, blah blah blah
I also have questions about everything currently being returned as a string. Do you think we should have getInt(), getString() and getDate() methods - the getDate() is the one of current interest and we could return a std.date (phobos) object.

Ok, I'll release a bit without that. Just out of curiosity, roughly how long do you think it will take?

My personal feeling is that all of the C functions should be left untouched, but a wrapper (aside from D DBI) can be written over them. That part is mostly a factor of how energetic you feel. Making it as easy as possible to use with D is great though. |

ha! no clue. Lots of stuff competing...

I was talking only of D code in ddbi's Row object. All the C functions are untouched, as you say. But if someone wanted to get at the hour portion of a date field value, they could do
| Code: |
Date date = row.getDate("startdate");
int hour = date.getHour();

I know that feeling.

oooo... I like it.  Maybe the whole Row class should be overhauled. I'll look into it overnight and report back tomorrow. Recommendations would be welcome, too. |

| Since this no longer has anything to do with imp.d questions (and to make this more visible), I have created a new topic specifically to discuss what to do to dbi.Row at http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=9947. |
