   I think you're confusing _Oracle_ code being identical, and the   
   _interface_ being identical.  I highly suspect that both Oracle and DB2   
   for LUW have pretty much the same proportion of "identical" code   
   between all supported platforms vs "platform-specific" code, and that   
   their APIs would stay 100% the same across all supported platforms.

   I think it's more like a misunderstanding.
