I should add that even though I'm recommending you upgrade, I am
willing to update DataMapper so it works with older versions of
databases.  My only concern would be that the code path not diverge
too much from the normal path. If for example, we had to maintain a
completely different set of SQL generation methods for one version of
a database as another I probably would not be inclined to support that
version.

As of right now regular testing is only happening against the latest
stable versions of each DB.  Once I, or someone else in the community,
gets the time to set up a proper CI system this could change.  We
would then be able to set up multiple DBs and run the specs against
them on each change, whereas now we have to do it manually and it is
too time consuming to be done consistently.
