This piqued my curiousity so I looked at the libdbi homepage at Source 
Forge:
http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/

It looks like a very low activity project. The last "news" is from 
November 2005. The newest file in the "src" subdirectory of its CVS is 2 
months old. It is currently in beta, and at this rate, doesn't look like 
it will ever get to a release.

I wouldn't recommend basing a backend upon something that does not 
appear to be supported. Or have I missed a more active project location 
on the web?
