We don't use the built-in "sql" module accounting queries; but the _alt 
queries are important for exactly this reason, particularly with e.g. 
postgres. I think using module failover for this would be cumbersome; 
you'd have to have quite a few SQL instances AFAICT to replicate this 
behaviour.

Or used stored procedures (which is what we do) but that's a lot of 
overhead.
