[wp-hackers] Making WordPress database independent

[Piyush Mishra]

Why not just take it to the point where we make a clean interface and
implement it in mysql and let the users write and share their implementation
for other databases. with time and testing, we can choose to integrate the
more popular and stable ones?
btw wont using the db.php need making something close to having POT kinda
files for queries for dbmses which have different SQL (oracle can be a good
example though am not sure if anyone will use it)
