[Typo3-dev] DBAL question

[Martin Kutschker]

Hi!

Is it possible to insall DBAL in such a way that TYPO3 uses t3lib_db 
straight (without any additional layer like ADOdb) but connections to 
external databases/-sources are handled by DBAL?

This might offer best speed for the core application but has maximum 
connectivity for legacy database integration.

PS: Wouldn't it be sufficient to replace the Mysql code in t3lib_db with 
eg PostgreSQL code instead of going the ADOdb/DBAL-mapping way? The 
mapping features etc are quite cool, but not really necessary for simple 
  installations.
