whatever backends, there needs to be at least one without an explicit daemon and no maintainance of the backend itself or a free choice you can hardly demand somone having a perfect working MySQL infrastructure with admins knowing what they are doing setup PostgreSQl for greylisting only which means *two* full featurd database servers with all their problems combined well you can, but the result would be low acceptance an no database abstraction alyer is *really not* the performance problem to excuse a "vendor-lockin" or to say it in other words: if you start these days a proect and the frist decision you make is what RDBMS you will use your whole software design is broken from that moment
