"db" and "em" are too short to be useful context-free abbreviations,

There's a big difference between "db" and "em": "db" is an extremely well-known abbreviation, whereas "em" isn't.

At the top level of a reorganised package namespace, I don't think it would be out of place to reserve "db" for database stuff. It can always be renamed on import if it happens to conflict with anything in code, and I wouldn't object to not being able to have my own top-level package called "db".
