We've got a nice abstract query system but our table creation and
migrations are horrible. We re-write them for multiple database engines.
And as a result extensions need to do the same and often don't. Leading to
things being a mess for databases other than MySQL.
While I was doing the sites stuff a syntax for defining tables came to
mind and I wrote out an RfC for a method of defining our database
abstractly.
