I am probably less of a fan of database abstraction that you are and I
like PDO. PDO isn't database abstraction. It is internal API
abstraction. All the common things a PHP database extension needs to do
internally in PHP is handled nicely by PDO making it much easier to
write a new database extension under PDO. The fact that you get a bit
of userspace API abstraction as well is just a side effect.
