RDBMS-Specific SQL Functions

RDBMS-specific SQL functions are functions that cannot be used on ALL databases supported by USoft. These functions may be convertible or non-convertible.

Convertible functions will be converted automatically by USoft if the application is ported to another type of RDBMS than it was developed on, and that other RDBMS has an equivalent function. A particular function may thus be convertible to all supported RDBMSs, or it may only be convertible to some.

Non-convertible functions will NOT be converted by USoft if the application is ported to another type of RDBMS.

When developing a portable application, if you need to use an RDBMS-specific function, make sure it is convertible to the RDBMS(s) you wish to port the application to.
