I had some bad experience with the Postgres driver (ddb [1], not sure if 
that's the one you're referring to). Mostly issues with how it handled 
Nullable and Variant and how it interacted with Phobos.

That make sense. But they could still be official supported. The same 
happens with Rails, but you still get everything you need when 
generating a new Rails application. Either installed automatically or in 
comments. "Add this gem to access SQLite, add that gem to access 
Postgres" and so on.
