Re: [phpBT-dev] PEAR::DB

[Ben C. <php...@be...>]

Yeah, I went back and forth on PEAR vs. adodb.  There are a few reasons
to choose adodb over PEAR, but (for me, anyway) performance wasn't one
of them.  I downloaded the benchmarks used by the adodb crew to show
adodb is faster than any other abstraction library.  When running them
on my setup, I found that with 200 select queries, PEAR was less than a
second slower that adodb.  Not a huge performance difference.  What it
really came down to, though, was my main goal of having phpbt be easy to
install.  By using PEAR instead of adodb, that's one less thing someone
would have to download to get up and running.
