What would be nice is to have the database not matter for those that want to use different backends. Maybe use ODBC or JDBC for the connection to the database, since that's probably the most generic way to do so. I don't think Perl or PHP would care what the backend is if the access is through a generic db. Then a script to create the tables and indexes with a simple, generic script.
You could code write the code for one db with easy instructions to connect to a free db like PostgreSQL, then have instructions for Oracle, MSSQL, mySQL, etc.
