It is nice to be idealistic, but it is practical to be realistic. Once can
dream about many things, but the  means to such dreams tell you what can be
achieved.

In this case, being database agnostic is the idealistic goal. The lack of
manpower for it to happen for one database is obviously limiting that one
database. So let us not talk about many more databases until we have the one
in question addressed.

Yes, turning the tables will not work on this one. Those who want it to
happen must make it happen.

Where are those who have business with PostgreSQL/MSSQL/Oracle/...etc.
