You may want to look into Metabase, that not only is available for those platforms and databases among others, but it also provides means of assuring real portability of your applications either for database access and database schema installation and maintenance It abstracts important features for serious Web development like transactions, prepared statements, sequence objects (eventually with auto-increment fields), select row range restrictions (get me select result only from row n to n+m), etc... Metabase is available for free here: http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20 Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
