Interestingly, Silvio, your company's product is exactly the use case that 
would ostensibly benefit from something like the LDBC driver, if it didn't 
already have equivalent code in place.

OTOH, from your description it sounds like that level of abstraction was not 
at all difficult to achieve for you.

I didn't see anything in the LDBC site that would account for the sort of 
algorithmic adjustments highlighted by Thomas.  I suspect that that type of 
thing will always require a programmer / analyst to pay attention case by case.

That's why they pay us the big bucks / dinero.
