Oh, if only the DBMS vendors could agree on ONE PLAIN FLAVOR OF SQL it would make my life sooo much easier...
I think this will happen about the same time Microsoft voluntarily open sources and GPLs Windows
along with porting Office to Linux.
It is too bad though. Standard SQL would make life a lot easier for us all.
In the mean time maybe you can keep all the database
specific code
in one module, and dynamically require that library
depending on which DBD you are using. So that way you
should
really be able to utilize the power of each database, but
still maintain a some-what portable app. Then you
can create a
database module for each database the app will be using.
