I think BibLibre did work on this in the past, but I can't imagine this work
ever being successful, since there are many MySQLisms in Koha.

While Koha does use an ORM in many places now, there are still queries written
by hand, and the database creation scripts all use MySQL-specific syntax. Plus
there is that old comment of mine about the MySQL extension to InnoDB. 

It would be easier to adapt one's own system to use MySQL than to adapt Koha to
use a different database, I reckon.
