this question used to cause religious wars....
At one shop I used to work at, we used database abstraction layers so we could switch DB's very fast, and test things on 2 db's.....
Note that of course, using a DB abstraction layer means you may be "genericizing" and not using whatever features one DB may have better than another, so your benchmarks may only be good for you, but beware of course that some Oracle license legal clauses prevent people from publishing their own benchmarks, hopefull the Island-Owning Sailboat Freak who keeps getting divorced and remarried won't impose his idiocy on mySQL now that he owns it.....
