adodb

PHP is a wonderful language for building dynamic web pages. Unfortunately, PHP's database access functions are not standardised. Every database extension uses a different and incompatibile API. This creates a need for a database class library to hide the differences between the different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily switch databases. ADOdb stands for Active Data Objects Data Base. We currently support MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL 7, Foxpro, Access, ADO, SAP DB, SQLite, Sybase, DB2 and generic ODBC. The Sybase, Informix and PostgreSQL drivers are community contributions. We hope more people will contribute drivers to support more databases.
