Remember that with modules, you can do something very different from one =
db module to
another. You don't need to follow the same database schema if you don't w=
ant to.

Too much different modules is bad (more work, more bugs...)
But if you need speed and space, don't try to be 100% compatible. The mys=
ql module will
never connect to a postgresql database :)

And again, the main problem that you will have is in the CGIs : they don'=
t use modules.
I have ideas for the CGIs and we can talk about that when you want.
