i don't mind if it's an ORM or something else. my point was that 
instead of complaining about stuff, we need a safe, stable and 
extendable database library supporting sqlite, mysql, postgresql, 
mssql and oracle dbs and we need it like yesterday. nothing 
fancy. people can get creative and fancy over that standard api 
and users get to choose.
