We had/have the same "problem" with our commercial application. Our solution is to have our application support multiple database engines (InterBase, Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase & Informix). InterBase is the "default" database, but if someone is an Oracle shop, we aren't going to get them to change. This also covers situations like when people want over 1000 concurrent users on one database--which InterBase can't handle. This may not be an option for you, but I thought I'd at least mention it.
I'm working on a project that'll have an
application, connecting SIMULTANEOUSLY to several servers - Interbase, MS SQL
and Oracle. The BIG problem is that they simply aren't compatible - for example
one uses generators, the other auto incrementing fields, the third sequences.
The stored procedures syntax is quite different, the syntax for joins in some
cases differs, too. How did you manage to write a real world application that'll
be able to work with any of the servers you listed above? I'm really curious!!!
Are you kind of sticking with just ANSI sql? I
can't believe that it's possible to do it with a real application.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
