For DB abstraction, how about the ADODB, will it be included in r2??

nope, we use metabase, and I don't want to write an abstraction-anstraction
layer :)

of all the ones I've used, metabase is fastest, most feature rich, and most
mature.

we may add a couple nice little features to metabase as part of r2
(tablespace creation for oracle not least amongst them) but I haven't had
any compelling reason to switch to something else form metabase.

What's wrong with metabase already being used?

I'd forgot about this one: it's modeled after MS's ADO for asp pages, so the
code is easier to learn for former-asp-now-php devs. See
http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB

I had a look at the code and it was not up to snuff.

The only gripes I have about metabase is manuel's use of ref'd variables in
function calls (thus the allow_call_time_pass_by_reference flag) and the
fact that he does not use javadoc-style commenting. These are both very
minor.

All that said, the libraries are extremely reliable and fast, and his
documentation is complete and succinct. And of course all the new r2 tools
use metabase.
