Yes. IME companies are far more likely to switch applications than to switch databases and keep the same application. So what was the point again? FWIW $EMP is a software company that sells apps tied to one DB product. This has never to my knowledge been a sales blocker. The customers see the DB as a "background" requirement and if they're not familiar with the DB platform (eg. if it's not what they use for their other apps) we help them out. There's far more to this mythical database platform agnosticity than the mere proclamation of "yay, no SQL errors!"
