in thread DB-independent wrapper on DBI

Yes, it mostly is. One difference is that I handle DBD::Sybase/FreeTDS connections without needing a .freetds.conf file entry. The idea here is that there are a few select databases a number of developers might need to get to, from any system. (There are over 50k different machines where I work.) By handing them one file, they can reach any of these databases. (Of course, assuming the right pre-requisites are installed, which they mostly are.) If I were to recode this, I would use DBIx::Connect, now that I know of it.
