I'm loathe (given JTodd's mail today on the topic) to bother the -dev 
list with this question.

ODBC indeed means a relative lack of the "cutting edge" functionalities 
that the various flavors of DB engine provide.

OTOH, we can see the nice Babel House we get when there are multiple 
choices, each of which is a favorite of the various developers.

I was under the impression that it was more or less "official advisory 
policy" to write for ODBC if possible, that way avoiding the war that 
led to the discussion in this thread.
