in reply to Should it be database independent?

Our corporation has selected Oracle, so we go with hard coded SQL to gain database efficiency. The odds of changing databases is very slim for us. However, if you are writing code for an external market, database independence would be more important.

Enjoy!

    I'm sure Peoplesoft thought that, once they had selected (partnered with) IBM DB2, the odds of changing to Oracle was very slim. ;-)
