>> Introduction
|
| 10 |
|
|
|
| 11 |
|
|
PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a
|
| 12 |
|
|
need for a database class library to hide the differences between the
|
| 13 |
|
|
different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily
|
| 14 |
|
|
switch databases.
|
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
We currently support MySQL, Interbase, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
|
| 17 |
|
|
Microsoft SQL server, Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2,
|
| 18 |
|
|
Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO.
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases.
