Question Using Nonstandard SQL

You should try to use only ANSI SQL in your JDBC calls. This best practice might seem obvious, but it is amazing how often people fall back on database-specific SQL simply because it is a nice crutch. On occasion, some behavior will demand proprietary SQL. For example, you may find that your project simply cannot live without the proprietary features of a specific database, and that is more important than portability. If this is the case, then so be it. Your first reaction, however, should always be to question your use of proprietary SQL and justify it to yourself and your team.
