Database holy war

[Brian Cluff]

It's not the connection layer that you have to worry about, its the database
extenstions.
I've been using PHPlib for a while that makes all the database calls the
exact same for a while now. You just can't send the same queries to every
database.

One that I have run into is one project called rimps.  Eric added a random
playlist to the program and it worked perfectly in MySQL but when he went to
back port the functionality to PosgreSQL he found there was no easy way to
pull up a random query.
