My belief is that a generic interface to DBs is only useful because that way

that uses databases in general).

Agreed, but on the other hand (at least partially) abstracting
DB-framework-specific details is like abstracting OS-specific or
filesystem-specific details: it helps anyway. (Eg, I hate to be forced to deal
with SQL idiosyncracies, I wish I would not be forced to learn this language's
design failures).
