Fair point Dirk, but I think you’re overestimating a few things:

 - the coherence of the current set of DB bindings for Lua (relevant XKCD[1])
 - the influence of my particular binding (it has two followers on github and 1 download on LuaRocks)

so I don’t think there’s much danger of a community being fractured by me choosing to not follow any of the available existing standards.
