I think you're confusing _Oracle_ code being identical, and the _interface_ being identical. I highly suspect that both Oracle and DB2 for LUW have pretty much the same proportion of "identical" code between all supported platforms vs "platform-specific" code, and that their APIs would stay 100% the same across all supported platforms.

I think it's more like a misunderstanding. Received on Sun Sep 14 2003 - 05:25:02 CEST
