As much as I agree ODBC would be nice, I think the fact that there are 4 bindings (pending reading the code) basically demonstrates that there is an appropriate abstraction layer to allow different databases to plug in.

I'm a little late to this thread, but I wouldn't underestimate the value of including ODBC. ODBC is almost insanely flexible (and insane too) :-) There are ODBC drivers from flat files to Oracle, and that's a lot of territory. - Chris
