note 98629 added to ref.pdo-oci

Notice the red block at the beginning of this page... pdo_oci is HIGHLY experimental. Even though it is under dev from 2004, it lakes today support for things that _do_ matters : - bind a varchar2 of 3500 chars - get selected metas - left join with blobs/clobs - etc. For the story, since we use pdo_pgsql in our software, I thought it would be viable to use pdo_oci for running under Oracle. After a long battle, I finally won : 1) If requested driver has a non-experimental pdo version available, use it. 2) else (well, for pdo_oci at least), use an abstraction layer of your own. 3) you're done. What I did in more details... 2 "main" classes for being compliant with "$obj instanceof PDO" or such : - class PhpDb extends PDO - class PhpDbStatement extends PDOStatement 2 "abstract" classes that defines what PDO actually does : - abstract class PhpDbAbstract - abstract class PhpDbAbstractStatement And at last for each driver, 2 classes doing the abstraction : - class PhpDbDriverOracle extends PhpDbAbstract - class PhpDbDriverOracleStatement extends PhpDbAbstractStatement "main" classes are accessed from your script, simply replace "new PDO" with "new PhpDb". "abstract" classes are mainly there for the documentation :p "driver" classes do the job in background, they are instances by the main classes. My PhpDb will be in an open source project sooner or later, search google or mail me ! ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 82.227.124.74 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-oci.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98629 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98629 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98629 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
