That way lies madness.

I started looking at that code a few times a while back, hoping to fix 
things, add functionality, etc, and gave up. I ran into it again 
attempting to add mongodb to the menagerie. The database layer is 
hopelessly strangled in its own constructs, and nothing short of a 
complete rewrite will save it. Fortunately, a complete rewrite is right 
around the corner. Or so I was told in 2006 (new database layer 
scheduled for Rev 2.8). And note that all existing database bugs in the 
bugzilla database at that time were marked Resolved in favor of a single 
bug report (3662) to cover the omnibus database layer rewrite.
