Non-portable SQL has no chance to suck on other databases at all.

And that's a bad thing?
Bob, I work daily with portable code. I deal with unnecessary problems
daily with portable code. In fact, it is quite lucrative, as few
people understand both the semantics of the code (it's not SQL, but
rather a 4GL that generates SQL for OCI) and the issues on the Oracle
side, and how to deal the frustrations involved in not being able to
fully utilize Oracle. It actually does perform amazingly well, if you
ignore the lockups due to a non-Oracle locking and concurrency model,
and having to manually fix flags in the data when things go south, and
ignore some pretty poor programming by high priced consultants. I
guess you could say that about any cross-db enterprise software, eh?
At least this one gives customers all the source - which means any site
will likely have some verrrrrrrry strange code.

That is a very bad thing when one has to move SQL from one database platform
to another.

We are only talking about SQL, are we not? |
