Storage IS the database. Multivalue could be the issue. My point was that if you are utilizing mulitvalued storage than it's a major problem to be able to swap out the database, since the whole multivalue structure is not in Oracle (Ok. I think the latest version of Oracle has something), MySQL or MSSQL
If your database could be swapped out for another database, then what is the advantage of using U2? and having to deal with the licensing issue at all? Most times, there is such a degree of design and development over the years that is dependant on U2 (pick) uniqueness that as far as licensing, your in a corner. Although I agree, it would be ideal to have your design structure be database engine independent, which puts you as the user/developer in control, but most U2 locations have had years upon years of Multivalued dependent code, and would cost far more to redesign than it would be to pay extra licensing fees. This however, doesn't excuse not preparing for the worst, and keeping the availability for your business model to transfer smoothly if the end should come (for U2 that is, not 2012).
