Funny enough someone just dropped a magazine on my desk with an
article by Ben Forta called "The Case Against Coding for
Portability". Have a read, pretty much how I feel about it...

I think what Ben says is blazingly obvious. However, the point that
should be taken on board is that coding for portability is simply best
practice where there is no specific advantage to be gained.
All to often people just bung in code that locks them down to a specific
platform when a modicum of effort would have provided a solution that
was portable, without any degredation in performance.
Any time you reach for a stored proc, custom db function, COM object or
whatever you should really be asking if it adds any real benefit to your
application beyond complexity and db/os specificity.
