A pair of Drush commands to import and export portable cross-database dumps of Drupal websites, supporting consistent import/export across all the database engines that Drupal 7 supports (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, ...).
Quick start
Take a Drupal website (any database engine will do), and export it in a portable format:
$ drush portabledb-export > mysite.dump
Now change the settings.php file to point to an other type of database engine, and reimport the dump:
$ drush portabledb-import mysite.dump
