|
|
* 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

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 (DB style interfaces to LDAP servers and
|
|
MS ADO (using COM) are also avaible from a separate package).
