I also believe that having in the providers at least:
create_table()
drop_table()
add_field_to_table()
delete_field_from_table()
modify_field()
create_database()
drop_database()

is the only way to be able to do some correct work on the database
structure. The get_schema() should be kept a read-only thing.

If I remember correctly there are already the *_database() methods, but
they are not implemented by the providers AFAIK.
