I know this is probably just a matter of opinion, but I side with Jim. What
I would want from a system is that it first of all works and second of all
performs as well as it can. It is impossible to achieve the second and write
Database independent code 9defined as code that runs unchanged on more than
one commercial RDBMS). In any case migrations of data from one platform to
another almost never come as a result of disatisfaction with the RDBMS but
with the application. They will in any case require an application change
(or 8) in any case.
