[Phpwiki-talk] dbx

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

It appears the database abstraction library that ships with PHP is dbx:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dbx.php

The downside is dbx has to be compiled in, of course. I suppose this is
the tradeoff we face: PhpWiki 1.4 could use such a database abstraction,
and that makes it work with more databases; but the users have to have the
abstraction layer compiled in. I wonder why the PHP maintainers don't
automatically add dbx when any database supported by dbx is compiled in?

The function library is extremely limited... while this means more work on
the app end instead of the database, I guess it would be a win overall.
I'll compile it in and try it out.
