Wow, sorry - now, reading what your intent is I may stand corrected. Maybe SQLite does make sense.

That is quite a project you are undertaking! I'm sure you realize that there are enough differences between the databases to make your job a hard one. For example all(?) the databases handle these things differently:
  * Date/Time handling
  * Sequences (unique identifiers)

Those are the 2 glaring ones off the top off my head, and I'm sure there are more. I try to stick with standard SQL, and try to stay away from things that each database does which are specific only to that database. But some things(like Date/Time, Sequences, etc.) you just have to deal with in each database. I haven't worked with triggers and constraints(and other stuff), so if you use those you may encounter issues there. Just thinking about how you would handle the differences in date/time handling makes my head hurt ;-)

Good luck with your project!
