| 9 | Introduction |
|---|
| 10 | ============ |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a |
|---|
| 13 | need for a database class library to hide the differences between the |
|---|
| 14 | different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily |
|---|
| 15 | switch databases. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | We currently support MySQL, Interbase, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle, |
|---|
| 18 | Microsoft SQL server, Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2, |
|---|
| 19 | Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases. |
