Hi,
I'm doing my first steps in PHP and I have my first simple question:
We use MySQL in our website and I saw that PHP has special functions for
MySQL.
Now, I'm starting a big project and I don't want it to be MySQL-dependant,
so I would like to access MySQL via MyODBC.
Is this ok?
Is there any drawback in doing this?
I guess it's slower, but... is it REAAALLY slower?
I want to do this, so PHP doesn't know what kind of database is reading, and
so, I can change my DBMS in the future without disturbing my code.
Thanks in advance
Ernesto
