ADOdb stands for Active Data Objects Data Base. It currently supports MySQL,
|
||
|
|
PostgreSQL, Interbase, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL 7, Foxpro, Access, ADO, Sybase,
|
||
|
|
DB2 and generic ODBC. The Sybase, Informix 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. Makes porting ASP code to PHP
|
||
|
|
easy 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 dependent 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.
