Does anyone have any information, experiences, case studies, etc. 
on the issues of developing RDBMS-portable applications using 
embedded SQL and X-Windows? I am particularly interested in 
portability issues between Oracle and Ingres, with additional 
interests in Sybase and Informix. Ideally, I would like to be 
able to take a C program containg embedded SQL and X-Window calls, 
run it through the preprocesssor of whichever RDBMS, and have the 
expectation that the program will function the same regardless of 
the RDBMS. Given the constraints of an industry that has not yet 
achieved this degree of standardization, I am looking for insights 
on how to (as much as possible) effectively and efficiently create 
portable X-Windows applications that can run under multiple RDBMSs. 
I will summarize responses on the net if there is sufficient response 
and interest. Thanks in advance.
