note 100718 added to intro.pdo

[in reply to Peng Zhang and others that wonder about the difference between 'data-access abstraction' and 'database abstraction'] data-access abstraction layer: This will only abstract the interaction with your data (Update, insert, delete, select) Full blown database abstraction: This will offer a lot more, for example table creation, abstraction of certain types of data. For example: If a database doesn't have a SERIAL (autonumber) datatype, a database abstraction layer will emulate this for you. You can use a database abstraction layer to create your tables, AND access to the data. For those interested: A well known (free) database abstraction layer for PHP is ADODB and can be found here: http://www.phplens.com/adodb/ ADODB is dual licenced: BSD-Style and LGPL ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 83.163.233.207 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.pdo.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100718 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100718 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100718 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
