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.
