Using a db abstraction may be the right way to write "database agnostic
code".
I have quite a good impression of SQLAlchemy, for example: it is quite
generic, and it is still possible to write direct SQL for those few queries
where I know that I can create better queries than SQLAlchemy would.
YMMV, of course. When performance is an issue, optimized code for a certain
DB backend will probably beat abstractions like this every time. But if
you're just writing a small-ish application, the option to support other db
with minimal effort is quite nice.
cheers
