I think there must be some rule that generic database APIs have to suck. I implemented the database access module for an application server, talking to databases over ODBC or (in the case of Oracle) OCI, and needed some huge number of workarounds for quirks of specific ODBC drivers. Besides which it seems to be impossible to write portable SQL due to gross divergences from the standard in the most popular implementations.
