In all fairness, the idea that databases are interchangeable just because one 
is using a database-agnostic access API like JDBC, DBI, PDO, etc. is a pipe 
dream.  

As much as SQL is SQL, yes, any use of non-trivial features will almost 
certainly involve database-specific extensions.  Even basic things like data 
type names (outside of SQL-standardised identifiers) vary.  

For instance, our product is in Postgres.  Even if one were to somehow get the 
tables imported into MySQL, the mass of triggers, stored procedures, views, 
idiosyncratic index types, etc. would require a complete rewrite at best to 
suit MySQL, and would be simply impossible at worst.
