No such thing.  Entire database industry is about locking in customer to
their own products and upgrades, and to prevent migration to their

and PostgreSQL, you'll see sufficient differences in C API which will
cause you to abandon what you're trying to do.

This conclusion is result of my attempt to add database interfaces to
