Description : a database abstraction layer
PEAR MDB is a merge of the PEAR DB and Metabase php database abstraction
layers. It provides a common API for all support RDBMS.
The main difference to most other DB abstraction packages is that MDB goes much
further to ensure portability.
.
Among other things MDB features:
.
* An OO-style query API
* A DSN (data source name) or array format for specifying database
servers
* Datatype abstraction and on demand datatype conversion
* Portable error codes
* Sequential and non sequential row fetching as well as bulk fetching
* Ordered array and associative array for the fetched rows
* Prepare/execute (bind) emulation
* Sequence emulation
* Replace emulation
* Limited Subselect emulation
* Row limit support
* Transactions support
* Large Object support
* Index/Unique support
* Module Framework to load advanced functionality on demand
* Table information interface
* RDBMS management methods (creating, dropping, altering)
* RDBMS independent xml based schema definition management
* Altering of a DB from a changed xml schema
* Reverse engineering of xml schemas from an existing DB
(currently only MySQL)
* Full integration into the PEAR Framework
* Wrappers for the PEAR DB and Metabase APIs
* PHPDoc API documentation
.
Currently supported RDBMS:
.
* MySQL
* PostGreSQL
* Oracle
* Frontbase
* Querysim
* Interbase/Firebird
* MSSQL
