I'm not sure it would be reasonable to use anything other than DBI.
However, if you believe that using DBI lets you make use of any database
backend without code changes, then you are sadly mistaken.  All databases
have different capabilities, and DBI only abstracts as much as possible.

Postgres is simply an expedient first choice because they have made use of
our software.
