APQ Plug:

The good news is that you do have "choice". I have been dragging my feet
in getting the latest version of APQ out, but the published version
supports PostgreSQL and MySQL in OO form. The version to be released
(pending install scripts), supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and SYBASE
(I have been distracted with another fun and absorbing project lately).

The OO level support is database neutral in most places, so that you
can write portable database code. Differences do exist however, but
this can be accomodated in the code if the programmer does a little
planning (avoid certain database features).

Good for Linux/Windows/*NIX, local or remote databases. The same
database code should compile to all platforms.

And... no *ODBC required. Totally native, no preprocessing of source
code. Also includes comprehensive manual with examples.
