RE: [PHP] abstraction for databases

Take a look in PEAR directory of PHP. There's a db abstraction layer like DBI to perl. Besides, you nearly only need to change the function names to change a database. Then if you've make some nice structured code, this shouldn't take much longer than changing the database type in ADO or JDBC.

I think a model as Microsoft' s ADO will make develpment and migration of an application very easy. All you have to do is to change the type of database. The code conserning the communication with databse remains the same..
