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. |
