I've been doing some thinking about database independence. The primary call for 
it is that supposedly it lowers cost because you can move to a cheaper 
database, etc... This means that virtually the entire cost is labor. So if you 
really want to save money database independent projects should be done offshore 
at low wages. 
If the DB independence crowd was truly honest they would be going to their 
managers asking to have their jobs offshored.
