Also: not allowed to use Oracle's native date data type, and no foreign key constraints allowed!

  How often does one actually switch between databases? I can see that yeah, some projects have a very slight change of migrating from mysql or postgres to oracle if they are really successful. But for many projects, the time and pain spent on using a database abstraction layer, or even worse building one is a total waste of time. Not that I mind using a well written ORM like active record, the benefits from that doesn't come mostly from that it's database agnostic.

    When you have many clients each with a diff database. All other times the argument is moot.
