My understanding from perusing mailing list archives is that there have
been multiple attempts to provide a database neutral layer and support
different backend databases (mostly w/ PG as the driver) but the lead
developer has been something between disintrested and actively hostile
to the idea. I think this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Support
say it all:
deleted "PostgreSQL Support" (Outdated, messy and unsupported)

And the Wayback machine version:
