OK. So we want to avoid procedures, functions, triggers, etc. unless we want to build some sort of wrapper. What about long datatypes, blobs, clobs, outer joins, distincts, using nextval to grab sequences, etc. Does anyone know where I can find more information? (Buying copies of the standards is expensive!) Thanks Jared, the FIPS stuff has started me in the right direction but seems to have opened up more questions than it answered!

Thanks guys!

Linda

On Oracle 7.x there used to be an init.ora parameter "sql_ansi" or something that you could set true/false in order to know if your sql code was ansi compatible or not.

Unfortunately, this parameter doesn't exist on 8i.

For sure, portability is the opposite of performance.

Having your application to work on many rdbms will prevent you to have the Oracle only features. Or you can build a driver per rdbms in order to used each rdbms functionnalities.

Hvae fun !
