It is the only one that comes with truly portable schema management. http://www.phpclasses.org/metabase http://pear.php.net/mdb Over Metabase API, there is Metastorage which is a persistence layer that generates an API in the form of self-contained classes of objects that map to your database tables. This really speeds up your development drastically because it generates adequate code for abstracting your application database entities so you can dedicate most of the time on the application business rules.
