How many developers in USA & Oracle question

[Dan Shafer]

Provided you stay with the subset of standard SQL supported by Oracle, 
you can use any local SQL database that Rev understands for your 
development work. When it comes time to deploy the project, you simply 
change your (hopefully solitary) database connect statement to point to 
a different database and you're done.

It really is (at least in most cases) that simple. If your app is 
really complex and uses a lot of unique features in one DB or another, 
then the advice doesn't hold.
