Very good, Dominic. In general, the difference backends encode a
different API for interacting with the backend. If your patch used
freetds, for instance, to communicate with MSSQL, that should go in
its own backend.

While ODBC is great to have a middle layer for divergent
databases. Compared to the other backends, it has quite a few run-time
specializations since different SQL engines give slightly different
results thought the same ODBC API.

That'll be great. I haven't used the ODBC backend since I finished
coding and debugging it.
