I've seen the graphical interfaces available for D.
Thank you for the tip.
How about database access.
It would be nice to have that. Is that possible?
Are there any docs about it?
If yes, then for what database?
I'm new to D(comming from Java and C#), but I have to access databases.

I haven't used it, but there appears to be a MySQL binding for Linux:

http://www.steinmole.de/d/

If you're on Windows, you could try interfacing via COM.  In my (very limited) experience, I'm thinking it's easiest to write a simple C wrapper and interface that into D, rather than accessing COM directly from D.  In this way you don't have to bother with translating all the C .h files into D modules; just write a C abstraction layer and translate that.

Of course, you said you're coming from Java and C#, neither of which produce libs or object files that can be linked with D...

Some guy made a wrapper class for SQLite, is that good enough? If not then you can convert the MySQL C library or C++ library over to D.

There's a wiki page that lists some database bindings that have been created for D:
