In less complex use cases, it should be possible to have an application use any backend rather than be locked to a specific database (if abstraction capabilities are used). BTW, another advantage of not using specific bindings is that with ODBC you are not statically linked to the client. When a particular client is not installed you can still start the application. Though it is possible to design client bindings in a way that that would load the client dynamically, it is quite complicated while keeping bindings thin or medium thick. -- Regards, Dmitry A.
