Just went through this post and the answer to "why SQL is rewritten" is
to be understandable and compatible with DBAL.

Without reading further, I don't really see the problem as IIRC I always
was able to write a valid ext_tables.sql file which was both compatible
with EM and with what I wanted to achieve, and thus valid with DBAL as well.
