I have an application which I would like to make more portable. Basically my application works like a treat using just sql server, what I would like to do is make it usable with all the other DBMS systems out there. I'm just wondering the best way to achieve this using the correct O.O.P design and implementation.

Thanks in advance guys.

Solution 1

Leverage the Interfaces: IDbConnection, IDbCommand, IDataParameter, IDataReader rather than using the specific classes.
But you'll still have to deal with differences in SQL syntax or stick to only standard syntax.
