I really dislike db abstraction layers and PEAR::DB being one of the
worst of all ;p

Just look at the ugly code like the LIMIT emulation for DBMS that don't
support it native. If you want to use the limited feature set provided
by PEAR::DB there is little point in using PostgreSQL at all. Just pick
a stupid storage engine like MySQL or SQLite and go on ;)
