When talking with people of the PostgreSQL community, for example, it is clear that they steer away from Drupal, because we don't take their industry serious. By adding support for referential integrity, we're reaching out to people that know more about databases. It wouldn't hurt to have some database experts in our community.

Maintaining schemas is still a lot of work,. and i fear adding another layer of complexity to it will start making it unmanageable.

Oracle, MSSQL, db2, mysql, sql lite, postgresql.

This means we're going to be doing essentially the same work 6 times over. And that's only for core, the majority of contrib

modules will still not work on other db's.

I also seriously doubt that just adding referential integrity is going to draw lots of postgresql experts out of the ether..
