| 9 | >> 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.
