PostgreSQL backend: a waste of time?

[Alessandro Oliveira]

I think that all the code that is dependent on a particular database 
should be completely isolated, making it simpler to port to new 
databases, for instance: Nicola likes postgres, you like mysql, and I 
love oracle (besides it is very expensive), somebody else would like an 
interbase or a sapdb backend.

It's trivial to make fun of Microsoft products, but it takes a real 
man to make them work, and a god to make them do anything useful.
