ADOdb is not the problem, it's the way it is used. ADOdb is design to be 
used directly, but DBAL parsres the queries, decomposes them and recompiles 
them. The only solution for that is that the 
write-SQL-for-Mysql-and-do-some-magic approach must go. t3lib_db is in this 
respect a failure and must go before any real cross db coding can begin.
