Of course, this is one of the big reasons an abstraction layer is critical for any project larger than a toy: it makes absolutely no sense for every application developer to independently discover every fiddling little difference between every sql implementation, and to work around every complexity in structuring sql queries for boilerplate tables. It's a completely waste of time. It only makes sense to dive into that when dealing with data that do not fit the 99% use case of simple tables, with standard relations (1-1, 1-m, m-m), and low performance requirements. Application engineering time should be spent on the problems that aren't already solved, e.g. the petabyte scale data, the low-latency data, the data that doesn't fit in squares, etc. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
