Whoever picks this up, I'd strongly suggest using something else than
the long description above, as it's misleading. Just look at libdbi:
that too, provides a single and supposedly simple interface for a number
of databases, yet, code using it is... well... "elegant" is not the word
I'd use for it. Cut it after "simple interface", and all is well, to be
honest.

Also, I'm curious in what way OpenDBX is superior to libdbi, and what
the difference is between the two?
