From what I understand that would not only make it simpler for XBMC to change the database backend if needed (if someone for example like to fork XBMC Linux port to use MySQL instead of SQLite), but it should also more importantly enable better direct access for the Web Interface (HTTP API) and Python to the database?
Yes, generalisation is almost always the way to go. Plus I'd imagine that in XBMC Linux that will be something that will be wanted. From a Java standpoint it is no different as ADOdb is a PHP/Python library. JDBC is Java's equivalent library/interface. The transaction support is a major plus.
A JDBC driver for ADOdb would be nice, but may be pointless, I'll look into it...
