Metabase not only provides database independent access facilities, but also lets you define database independent schema in an easy to use XML format and it creates your database the necessary tables, fields, indexes and sequences. If you change your schema file, Metabase may figure the changes and only alter your database schema objects that are needed to change without affecting any data that was added to the database since the last installation or the last time the database schema was updated. Metabase ODBC driver needs some work to take the most of Metabase facilities like most of the other drivers, but that is work in progress. Metabase is free and you may find it here: http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20 Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
