* prepare/execute (bind) emulation for databases that don't support it natively
* a result object for each query response
* portable error codes
* sequence emulation
* sequential and non sequential row fetching as well as bulk fetching
* ordered array, associative array and object formats supported for the fetched rows
* row limit support
* transactions support

DB layers itself on top of PHP's existing database extensions. The
currently supported extensions are: dbase, fbsql, interbase, informix,
msql, mssql, mysql, oci8, odbc, pgsql and sybase (a DB style interface
to LDAP servers is also avaible from a separate package).
