The ZODB represents an abstraction layer over any particular database 
you might want.

So, you have to write a ZODB interface to the database you want to use.

How easy it is to write such an interface depends how closely the 
assumptions and constraints on your database match those of the ZODB.

The ZODB already has back-ends for FileStorage (the default), the 
Berkeley Database, and Oracle.
