That last part is only true to the extent one uses portable SQL, which one 
cannot always do much in real life.  For example, datetime types are radically 
different with radically different semantics between the RDBMSes you 
mentioned.  You will not get the same behavior with, say, 
ResultSet#getTimestamp() across all three.
