Dunno what I said wrong. I meant to show that the argument "multiple different dbs are better" isn't in favour of an application server because for any appserver the same argument could be made. So, an appserver doesn't really solve the portability problem because then you'd have to be compatible with the app server *AND* the appserver has to be compatible woth the db.
