Torque and LDBC

Hi,

I read about Torque on your web site. What about if your are using the cross database JDBC driver 'LDBC' (http://ldbc.sf.net)?
As of now, LDBC supports Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, IBM DB2, PostgreSQL, PointBase, HSQLDB and InterBase / Firebird up to some point.

Some words about LDBC: LDBC (Liberty DataBase Connectivity) is a JDBC driver that provides vendor-independent database access. With LDBC, your application will just work on all major databases and you don't have to change any source code. LDBC is based on ANSI-SQL and JDBC. LDBC radically simplifies porting of existing or new applications to new databases. The main components of LDBC are a JDBC driver and a SQL grammar converter. LDBC completely shields the application from database vendor specific code. Included SQL grammar and JDBC API documentation. LDBC is not meant to be a persistence layer or object relation mapping. The main idea of LDBC is providing a standard way to access a SQL database from Java.
