I'm working on a formula for the core Homebrew repository that would support all but Firebird and Oracle. So highlight it here, and document the installation of additional libraries. The Homebrew formula will link to this page when installation finishes. But also cover the tap for those who need to manage Oracle or Firebird databases.

Based on the sqitchers/sqitch tap, it supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite out of the box, and Snowflake, Exasol, and Vertica with ODBC via the installation of additional client libraries. Snowflake support could use the `snowflake-snowsql` formula, but it's Cask only. The caveat output points to a URL that describes how to install these additional dependencies, which will be updated appropriately by sqitchers/sqitch.org#13. The install method installs all Perl modules in the Cellar directory, which is useful for keeping everything together and avoiding conflicts with other Perl applications, but means that they must all be re-installed when upgrading to a new version. Not supported: Oracle and Firebase, since there are no formulas for Instant Client or the Firebase server (or clients). The URL emitted by the Caveat points users who need to manage Oracle or Firebase databases to the Sqitch tap.
