You are mixing together multiple incompatible concepts. Lets take them one at a time.
Complete DBMS independence means utilizing those vendor specific functions that optimize security, performance, and scalability. Good so far.
Having done the former ... the second is logically impossible. Once I use a vendor specific function, for example in Oracle packages, I have code that can not be moved anywhere else without a rewrite. You can't have it both ways.
BTW: I normally don't correct spelling but you have used the word so many times it begs pointing this out: The word you are looking for is 'counsel' not 'council'.
