PEAR DB provides a unique API for a lot of different database engines, but it does not work around specific features that are only available in a specific engine. Anyways, if you only use "standard" SQL, the chances are pretty good that your application will work with no modifications on different SQL engines. Apart from that PEAR DB's API is simply cool and it saves you a bunch of work even if you don't need database abstraction :-). - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
