FreeTDS bindings

[neonile]

It'd be quite helpful to get FreeTDS bindings, to facilitate connectivity to MS SQL Server and Sybase ASE databases.

Is there perhaps an ETA on this?

It's being worked on currently. I'm expecting to have basic support within the next day or two.

I've added basic support for freetds in v.0.0.5. Here's an example (set URI values appropriately):

auto db = createDatabase("freetds://SERVER/DB?username=UN&password=PW);
auto result = db.query("SELECT 1,2,'abc'");
foreach (r; result) {
for(int c = 0; c != r.columns; ++c) writeln("column: ",c,", value: ",r[c].as!string);
}

The server name (SERVER) corresponds to the entry in a freetds configuration file (usually $HOME/.freetds.conf) and it looks like this:

[SERVER]
host = 1.2.3.4
port = 1433

Let me know if it works for you on a basic level. If you have any particular features that you want prioritized, let me know. Input binding is one of the big things missing at the moment.
