        Why not add a chart to the Wiki where people can brainstorm and  
compare the various backends?

        Also remember that Dabo is not intended to be a replacement for DBA- 
type tools; it is intended to present a consistent way of interacting  
with data for an application developer. From John's last post:

        These are good examples of what I don't think belong in Dabo. You  
can certainly access them via cursor.execute(); anything that can be  
executed from a script or command line will work with execute(). But  
that doesn't mean that we need a dCursorMixin.vacuum() command.
