Fuel comes with drivers for native MySQL, MySQLi and PDO.
PDO implements drivers for these database engines: http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.drivers.php.

My €.02, • The mysql(i) driver can connect to compatible databases such as MariaDB and maybe Drizzle (haven't tried it)
• MySQL versions 5.1.33 through 5.1.54 and MariaDB support the IBMDB2I storage engine which is useful if you want to store data in a format that can be accessed from IBM i applications (financial organisations such as insurance companies might have this).
• Connections are opened directly to the server, HTTP bridges aren't supported yet
• PDO with PostgreSQL is just a matter of:

...
'connection' => array(
        'dsn' => 'pgsql:',
),
...

Under this setup, every server that requires its own role would run in its own unix account. Doing so is easy with spawn-fcgi2, which also supports chroot() although you'd need to bind-mount at least /var/run/postgresql into every chroot jail. And I'd crawl over an acre of Firebird and MySQL to get to PostgreSQL. Thank you
