That's exactly what you are supposed to do. The ABIs of db1 and db2 are
completely different, and you cannot mix them. The same is true for the
APIs, although there are some db1 compatibility functions in db2.

It's for compatibility. A database written by db1 is incompatible with
one written by db2, not even when using the db1 compatibility functions in
db2.

Yes, that's how it's supposed to be.
