Anyway, hopefully my changes to MusicInfoSCR will be included in the
next release of MusicInfoSCR so then I don't have to provide a patched
version of it anymore.

am acutally doing this already in the TrackStat plugin when creating
the table. However, in the SQLPlayList plugin I have not seen the need
yet. The idea is that since you anyway need to enter the SQL queries
manually for each playlist, there should not be problem to create them
for the backend database your are using. Most users will probably
anyway only specify the SQL query for the backend they are using and
not in both MySQL and SQLLite format. The real solution is to implement
a product independent query format that converts to SQLLite or MySQL
based on the used backend, however this will also restrict the
flexibility of the plugin. For me the SQLPlayList plugin is just a
temporary solution until real "smart playlists" with a nice Web
interface are available. 

Do you see any other benefit with checking database type that I have
not realised ?

I will consider to provide example playlists in both SQLite and MySQL
format with the next release of the SQLPlayList plugin.
