After looking into Class::DBI::Pg a little it does have the ability to look
up the sequence and define it in the set_up_table.  This is cool but not
exactly transparent because to get this functionality I need to have
Class::DBI::Pg be my base class which would then still excluded mysql from
working.

Unless there is some way to dynamically set your base class...  My idea is
to have a config file that will store system settings including DB host,
name, user pass and driver.  Is there some way to query the config and then
have:

use base "Class::DBI::$dbd";

It does not seem possible but I have been wrong about stranger things.
Maybe there is a different way to achieve the same type of thing?
