metabase uses PHP level code to access the database, while the midgard
functions use a C level abstraction (and don't even get to see the DB
connection directly).
We've been talking about a driver model for database access, and yes,
it would require quite some changes in the core. If 2.0 is going to
use SQL as we have so far (not certain at this point), this is going to
happen if at all feasable.
