In general this is a question of adding a dependency on an interface
library (eg libdbm, libmysql, etc), and in the case of
protocol-connected databases, adding a configuration stanza to your
server for the database authentication credentials.

Usually it is quite this trivial, given that the database and
libraries in question are already ported to/supported on the various
platforms.
