I would have to disagree with that. As an example, the software that I work on is actually a subsystem within several primary systems. Some of the primary systems use SQL server, and some are now using Oracle. The same code base is used for this particular subsystem, so it makes the code simpler if a particular feature can be implemented with identical syntax in both environments. Besides, in any situation that involves porting from one environment to another, the fewer required changes the better.
