I would like to know an example where ODBC database independence was something other than a pipe dream.

All our products at www.ihtml.com, www.ihtmlmerchant.com, and www.opayc.com

The whole principle of opayc being useful is based on database independance. The drivers all abstract a payment gateway interface to the odbc model. An application coded to this standard can switch payment gateways at will just by having the datasource point to a different driver.
The only information that needs to change is info in the datasource or connect string such as user account since obviously it is going to be different on a different physical system.

All our merchant software will work on any of the popular databases without any change to the front end code. As long as all the tables are present it expects it couldn't care less what dbms it is using.


Right now using Microsoft's client tools, our database access is a bloated mess of unpredictable threading behaviors.
