Database protocols don't have a standard like HTTP does. To create something like this, you would need to create an implementation for every database. Given the number and diversity of them, this would be very difficult.

PHP's PDO extension has many drivers though some (Oracle for example) are marked experimental.

The database adapter class in Zend Framework does a particularly good job at abstracting connection details.
