Years ago I considered mySQL but the lack of support for stored procedures was a show stopper for me. So now I have dozens of applications and ecommerce sites running on my MS SQL. (best product ever made by MS IMHO).
So I suppose I could throw out years of accumulated knowledge and infrastructure just for the privilige of using WordPress, or during your next re-write, you could add ADODB as the other member mentioned.
Considering this is blogware I can’t imagine that there are many routiens that require vendor specific db services anyway it should be to hard to generalize it.
