This starts to look as if it might instead be worth putting in support
for Perl DBI - this would then give instant support for pretty much all
the databases that are available at present, with a slight speed penalty
relative to current methods (and of course requiring programming in perl
rather than in C).

It's a shame that there doesn't seem to be a C/C++ library comparable to
DBI, but until there is, I think this is an avenue worth investigating.
