Has DDBI died?
Why not release DDBI0.3 yet so for a long time? |

I checked the commit logs for the source, no work done in 3 months.
Doesn't look good for the project. |

Yeah, that's not a good sign, but sometimes people get busy with other responsibilities.
In any case, there are other D database projects out there. He's a wiki page with a list of some of them: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DatabaseBindings |

Well, if it's working for you, then I think you should use it. While I agree that releases show momentum in a project, if it works for your current projects, then go with it. Also, when you come across features that aren't present, it could lead you into the codebase so you become a contributor 
I'm by no means insinuating that ddbi is in that kind of stable condition, and I know there are a lot of things that I wanted to do with it. But I got caught up in those "other things" to do. I really only added a half-baked MSSQL (FreeTDS) driver to it, and in the middle, I wanted to begin reworking the type system. You can see it in my branch in SVN and in a wiki page: http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddbi/wiki/NotesFor0.3.0.
The original authors do seem to be off doing other things, so if anyone wants to help, they're more than welcome.

I am working on incrementally improving ddbi trunk now while I use ddbi for a project I am doing. Anyone should feel free to jump in and contribute, as I would like to see DDBI take everyone's input and become a great API.
I am currently working on:
* building via version(dbi_providerprefix)
* dsss support
* better/less heap allocation support (work more towards a streaming API)[/list] |
