I get your frustration, but I think at the root of it, you're talking about
a difference in SQL, not access. IF one RDBMS prefers/requires one date
format, and another prefers something else, there's nothing in PDO that will
help you build syntactically valid SQL for that.

By the same token, there's nothing in PDO that will be able to assist with
the correct syntax for row-limiting between MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.
(LIMIT, TOP, etc.)

I think what you're really after here is a SQL-abstraction layer. I've
built my own just for this purpose.
