While indexing is a batch job and as such not time-critical
interactive-wise, there's a fair amount of inserts going on when you add
a new release of a large project.  I don't think the added simplicity is
really worth de-optimizing this path.  While it probably makes sense to
add general versions to the DBI base class, I'd keep the specialized
versions in the db-specific classes, at least for the larger tables.
