That's really a good idea.
I would even go a step further.
what's about to create a web interface that does not know what DB is
underneath.
So once we have such an interface one has 'only' to change the DB specific
functions like
search , get , delete , update
it may even work for the LDAP protocol
I would have some time to spend on this idea.
cheers
