Methods are provided for date - handling, string concatenation and string quoting characters for - differing databases. - -* A metatype system is built in so that types such as CHAR, TEXT and STRING - are equivalent in different databases. - -* Easy to port because all the database dependant code are stored in stub - functions. You do not need to port the core logic of the classes. - -* PHP4 session support. You can store your session information using ADODB - for true portability and scalability. See adodb-session.php for more - information. - WWW: http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB --- Andre +- Ago abgoeree@uwnet.nl - |
