New COBOL-Like-SQL
A better solution for swappability would be to toss SQL for a more programmer-friendly language based on simpler primatives instead of the COBOL-like SQL.
COBOL is an Imperative language. SQL is a Declarative language. It's interesting that you're proposals for fixing DB programming involve Imperative languages - thus being much more related to COBOL than SQL.

Where have I said this? (A long time ago we had an argument about such, but I eventually caved in.) The language I propose could be seen as functional or logical. But, could be implemented sequentially for smaller libraries. That is the beauty of it.
