That is a little more fundamental question ;)
Since PDO is currently scoped only to abstract the data, then anything related 
to changes to the SQL should not be happening. So in theory if you switch the 
driver a simple SQL query should still work? There are many reasons why it will 
not work but that is not for PDO to address! So there should be nothing 
'automagical' in any of the drivers unless it produces results that are SQL 
standard compliant across all drivers?

My own stand point is that PDO is still not user ready until it provides a 
little more REAL cross database compatibility, so something like this is not 
acceptable and must be addressed in the SQL initially provided.
