I think GNUWorld should have a database abstraction
class implimented to allow for other databases to be
tied into GNUWorld at compile time, this would mean
ease of intergration of other RDBMS backends rather
than a static dependency on Postgres

work on this is in progress (mostly so we can move away from the ancient libpq++) - but it will allow multiple db backends too. At the moment, gnuworld is not compatible with mysql (even with a new db connectivity module) due to some postgres features that we use. work on moving away from that reliance is also in progress.
