Where did I ever propose eliminating the interfaces
that DB adapters already have?  Or where did I propose
any requirement to interface to the SQL syntax?

The DB adapters would continue to move data from
external/local databases to lists-of-dictionaries,
objects, etc., as they do now.  I'm just saying that
once you pull data into Python, you should continue to
have the option to manipulate relational data with
SQL.  Presumbably most people who use SQL databases
already have to understand the syntax anyway.  And
those that don't can simply ignore it.
