Thanks to ODBC, DBI, JDBC and friends, migrating from one DB to another 
is not as painful as it once was.

Keep in mind 'not as'.

But mysql's lack of advanced features certainly makes mysql -> post (or 
other) potentially less difficult than say an mssql -> post. Depending 
on how good/bad the developers were.
