I do not agree with that and I'd prefer TinyERP to continue in the path it is. Writing portable SQL means that you can't do many things and you can't take advantage of the full power of the database. So, at least, the decision is not that easy as say, let's use ADOdb and that's it.
Take a look for example at: http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/tips_portable_sql.htm, not all databases support all features, nor they support them with the same syntax. I must say, that I like PostgreSQL very much, so I'm not the best to answer, but you can't make use of full text searching capabilites of PostgreSQL and at the same time supporting other databases without a significant effort. And that goes for many features you'd like to add.
