Just my 2c: I find that beyond basic SELECT statements, each implementation of SQL across various different vendors' platforms (eg: MS, Oracle) differ a GREAT deal anyway, so there's no such thing(*) as a "flick of a switch" transition between DB platforms.
I'd hate to think that people were limiting themselves to the lowest common denominator of SQL statement "just in case" there's a platform change down the track. I can recall *one* project we've done in which we needed to change DB platform. (*) Well... If you write an abstracted DB handling layer there is, but this is probably overkill for one-off projects.
