[Robert van der Meulen <rvdm@cistron.nl>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Note: I'm taking over this ITP from <chewie@wookimus.net>.

Quoted from the website:

    ADODB stands for Active Data Objects Data Base. We currently support
    MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Oracle, MS SQL 7, Foxpro, Access, ADO,
    Sybase and generic ODBC . The Sybase and PostgreSQL drivers are
    community contributions. We hope more people will contribute drivers to
    support more databases.  Unique Features of ADODB         

	* Easy for Windows programmers to understand and port ASP code to
          PHP to because many of the conventions are similar to Microsoft's
          ADO.
        * We provide support code to handle inserts and updates which can
          be adapted to multiple databases quickly. Methods are provided
          for date handling, string concatenation and string quoting
          characters for differing databases.
        * A metatype system is built in so that we can figure out that
          types such as CHAR, TEXT and STRING are equivalent in different
          databases.
        * Easy to port because all the database dependant code are stored
          in stub functions. You do not need to port the core logic of the
          classes.
        * SQL to popup menu (<SELECT>) support included
        * PHP4 Session support.
