I suggest taking a look at the DBI interface in Perl and Python.
DBI has been quite successful - there's even been a recent book
published on it. Our DB interface should be agnostic about the
precise database being connected to.
We have a namespace problem there. Both Perl and Python solve this
using OOP. We could do something similar using a generic API like our
database stuff does. But it may not be easy.
Also, there are philosophical differences between Perl and Python
DBI's. I'll write about it in a later message.
