Of course, an unnecessary focus on database independence at the expense 
of performance could be considered a poor design decision.   I'm not 
sure why you capitalize the term; it's simply one more in a long list of 
things to be considered when designing a system.

SQL has its place, but it's far from everywhere, especially on i5/OS 
with its rich spectrum of tools.  If you have no intention on moving off 
of i5/OS, then *not* taking advantage of the native capabilities is 
architecturally negligent.

In my opinion.
