what is your goal?  

If it's to port pgAdmin2 to Linux, then why do you need a database 
abstraction layer?  Why not use direct calls to postgres?  Most language have 
native support (C, C++, PHP, Python, Perl...)   Is it not true that pgAdmin 
under windows has some limitations due to the fact that it's usind ODBC?

If it's to write a generic database management tool that can be used against 
different databases then the need for an abstraction layer is obvious.
