So. just as all operating systems are not the same, so all databases are not
the same. If you want to be database independent - I'm sure you'll also want
to avoid ADO anyway because it is highly platform dependent. If you really
want to be database independent - don't use a database, after all you will
be unnecessarily crippling you customers by not using the power that they
paid for in the first place anyway.
