So only big, real downside is that it would break pretty much everything. Which of course, usually freaks people out. And even using ORM or even standard SQL it doesn't quarantee cross DB stuff. There is just some SQL diaclets that doesn't follow standards - Oracle being my favourite baby. (Complete sidenote: I don't get why big RDBMS like Oracle doesn't have decent TEXT field like sqlite and friends) But well, that was king idea that came in to my mind at midnight... -- Jani Tiainen "Tein sein mihin näillä lahjoilla pystyin.
