My idea was that each db module can offer functions like:

inline str bitand(int a, int b)
{
}

for mysql and postgres they can return "a & b" for oracle they can 
return "bitand(a, b)" and so on. They can be made available on the 
connection structure based on the db connection type

one can use them like:

db.api.bitand(a, b)

whenever such operations that are different between databases are required

I think the above approach is easier and requires less work.
