In general, good SQL is good SQL, no matter what the platform is. The question you need to face is how important performance is vs how important portability is. The answer depends on what you're doing. --Dan
I think a truly kickass abstraction lib would identify these dbms-specific optimal (or weak) points for each of its supported dbmses and add methods to its API to deal with them as appropriate for the selected one. That way, developers only have to keep in mind the abstraction lib's API, instead of peculiarities of each dbms. -- Best, Irfan Baig
