Out of curiosity, what's your goal with this?

There's no shame in picking one technology and sticking with it, to
the exclusion of others: you can simplify your codebase, reduce
maintenance effort, and generally get on with life in other areas.

If your goal is to produce a generally accessible library that's
DB-agnostic, that's a noble goal, but usually quite aside from a
typical business objective.
