Is there any progress in that direction? If dynamic selection of the database is not needed, agreeing on a minimal API (that must cover all usual needs) is enough. Otherwise, one must define a basic set of facilities that each basic database interface (perl DBD) must provide and use dynamic loading to a common DBI module. So, in my opinion, the first thing to do is any case is agree on a general database interface. Are there people interested on this list? Personally I don't have much time to contribute but as I will be soon in need of using DB, I am willing to make an effort.
