I was going to suggest using Doctrine as DB access layer, but but we
want to support non-PDO hosting providers. But if we are going to
rewrite all the queries how about implementing helper[1] functions.
Most of the queries fit in this schema, and the rest can still be done
with the current interface.

BTW. are there still hosting providers without PDO and PHP >= 5.3?
