Like you said, PDO doesn't solve the issue of having to rewrite queries if you switch DBMS, which I believe is PDO's main failure.
That's not a shortcoming of PDO - PDO, as it states, is not a database abstraction layer, it's a data access abstraction. Using it as such is using a phillips to screw in a robertson.
