That made me smile :-)
The idea of being "locked in" to free software. Well, I guess
PG'OCaml does require PostgreSQL, but that's only because it is the
only database which has the necessary 'DESCRIBE' statement (which,
given a statement, parses it and tells you what types it takes and
returns). If other databases have it, then you could add support for
them.
