    You still have to port your schema, and if you're doing anything with timestamps or unique identifiers, you'll have some portability work.

    well, doesn't perlmonks access mysql through the dbi?
        • Chromatic is working on SQLite
        • Fuzzie submitted PGsql
        Other thoughts that have been kicked around are Oracle, SapDB, MSSql, etc. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, but we have two people with a proof of concept that it can be done. There is a lot of work. I encourage anyone to take a look at the codebase (http://sourceforge.net/projects/everydevel) and consider contributing.
