I would tend to agree. In my organization this is not much of a
concern and would fall midway on my priority list but I would
encourage and help anyone with abstracting out the DB stuff.
I don't do anything fancy in fact I think it would work with MySQL 3
as well (i have not tested it) so I don't think it would be very
difficult.
