Doing the latter is a precondition for implementing the former in a
reasonable way, I believe.
BTW, these two web log entries summarizing Mono and Mozilla's
experiences with SoC might make interesting reading:

Given the above, I would be wary of such projects bit-rotting. If the
upstream project hasn't bothered to add PostgreSQL support, there might
be a good reason why: writing truly database-agnostic applications is
not always easy (or even desirable).
