I also don't think it's a good idea. If you don't use the database specific functions out of fear you aren't able to switch anymore, you are probably wasting a lot of potential performance.

I think "changing the DB" likely referred to schema changes, not swapping out the DBMS.

I took it as changing the DBMS under the hood.
