PEAR Database Abstraction Layer

DB is a database abstraction layer providing: - an OO-style query API - portability features that make programs written for one DBMS work with other DBMS's - a DSN (data source name) format for specifying database servers - 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 - formats fetched rows as associative arrays, ordered arrays or objects - row limit support - transactions support - table information interface - DocBook and phpDocumentor API documentation DB layers itself on top of PHP's existing database extensions.
