I am afraid you are not talking about JDBC/ADO/ODBC as an abstract
interface. Making custom abstract interfaces for every application is a
very clumsy an inefficient way to achieve vendor independence. If you
don't think an interface such as JDBC gives you vendor independence,
use another generic interface on top.

You get vendor indpendence with JDBC, ODBC. What you don't get is independence from the relational model. I want that too. I don't want my application to have to know that there are tables here, and tables there, and relationship tables that bind them together.
