If I get you right, this is a good first step!

Then the next issue would be how to communicate with the db.

I think my solution would be to implement ADO engines one by one kinda
like I laid out in the other email, that a setting would stand for eg
MSSQL.

I also think there's a reason why django-mssql took to the regexps; it
kinda loses out on the ADO methods, but it's the path of least resistance
to code. And we can probably borrow code from them here! ;)

What do you think?
