Re: [Phplib-users] Oracle usage

[Jesse S. <ph...@sw...>]

I have used the oracle abstraction for a couple of years.  I have found it
to complete enough to do our web site for several internal projects.  I am
currently using it to support a global data warehouse for Nortel Networks.

The only change I have thought would be nice would be to support commit and
rollback.  Currently all transactions are auto committed.  I have looked
into it and would be a minor thing to add.

The shortcoming of the DB_SQL interface is it is based on MySQL.  Don't get
me wrong, MySQL is a wonderful database and I have used it in several
projects.  But it is not Oracle.  There are many things that can be done
with the Oracle API that is not supported by DB_SQL.  But most of them are
not of value in a web environment.  So, selects, inserts, updates and
deletes are enough and DB_SQL has been bullet proof.

I would recommend it.
