The database implementation I have submitted should go a long way to allowing the end user to choose the backend database. I have been careful to use the Python Database API Version 2.0 (http://www.python.org/topics/database/DatabaseAPI-2.0.html). Ideally, this should let the user pick his database. I have not tried it with anything but MySQL (which no longer works, but probably could) and PostGreSQL.
