Just an idea that tumbled out while I was doing something meaningless :) Take note, I'm not seriously considering this, I just thought it would be something interesting to throw out. I find that when I work on a project I spend more time working on user interfaces than anything else.

Besides, I thought it wasn't necessarily just SQL that was important, I thought it was an issue of database drivers, which don't all communicate the same. The SQL commands between databases might be the same, but the method for connecting and communicating would be different.

I certainly realize that user interfaces can be way more complex than database interfaces in some ways. However, I think the idea is amusing.
