I don't know much about ODBC specifically (it's *supposed* to be cross- patform, I don't know how well that works in practise), and there are probably other similar systems. but my point is that very smart people have already solved the problem of database abstraction, it seems a waste and is clearly error-prone to re-invent their wheel > I think using a whole new database abstraction strategy to avoid bugs > like the ones we've seen is overkill.
