I am not doing that.

My point was, you referred to JDBC which lead to my comment.

Look, we are going round in circles here.

I simply wanted to know why your application was DBMS specific.

I think you are. But I guess I could have been clearer.

I simply wanted you to clarify the APIs (SQL or RDF) that you are using 
in your app so I can actually assess your response to Orri's post about 
Virtuoso, and even better, correlate all of this with the ping I 
received from Alan about Owlgres etc..

Anyway, I think we can close this whole thread. I can find get these 
answers for myself once I have time to look at little closer at what 
you've implemented.
