--- Comment #14 from Marc Balmer <marc at msys.ch> ---
SHOW COLUMNS FROM is only one example of a MySQLism, that we merely used to
demonstrate the technique being used.  What we - and we do it on purpose - is
to not change the way how the database is accessed, but the SQL being used. 
For SHOW COLUMNS FROM there is a function in DBH, but did you check what it
returns what the surrounding code in Koha expects?

Well, we did check that and our goals was to minimally invasive, that is why we
only change the way the SQL is generated.

How will you address idoms for which no DBH equivalent, no standard SQL
equivalent exists, i.e. where different SQL HAS to be used for MySQL or
PostgreSQL?  Our solution adresses exactly this problem.  It is small,
overseeable, and works.
