>> 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.
