Re: Failure to abstract in standard library's db code?

Also mysql and sqlite are so different from each other. But SQL they take is 
slightly different. Features they have are different. It's very hard to design 
a codebase that runs on both dbs. Java did the JDBC thing where it tried to 
treat all DBs the same. But I don't think its a great idea. PostgreSQL has even 
more features over mysql... I think you almost have to have a different library 
to talk to each DB.
