I haven't looked, but is it possible to use an intermediate layer like an ORM
which would allow a user to use different databases under the hood?  For
example, the core is written using Storm, so is pretty easy to use any
database that Storm supports.  Currently, because of minor SQL differences,
this means SQLite and PostgreSQL, but it should be easy for someone to
contribute MySQL code.  An nosql database might be harder though because that
doesn't fit naturally into Storm's view of the world.
