We should provide a common interface for databases to ease porting from one database backend to another.

Similar projects for other languages:

Python:
- DB-API: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/
Go:
- sql: http://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/
Ruby:
- DataObjects: https://github.com/datamapper/do
- Sequel: http://sequel.rubyforge.org/
Node.js:
- http://www.sequelizejs.com/

Known bindings:

Sqlite:
- https://github.com/linuxfood/rustsqlite
PostgreSQL (in progress):
- https://github.com/erickt/rust-pg

Needed:

MySQL
Oracle

Should we bother trying to support NoSQLs?
