Re: [Phpwiki-talk] ADODB

[Sergio A. K. <ser...@ho...>]

the "official" db abstraction layer for php is DB (from PEAR)
http://pear.php.net
DB is developed by Stig Baken (a long time php hacker)
DB is being distributed with php > 4

I'm working rigth now with DB, so far:
advantages: simple, clean design, ligthweigth, come with distros
disadvantages: WIP

last time I looked at ADODB, it seemed (to me) overdesigned,
complex and bloated, but I could be wrong.
