PEAR MDB2 is a merge of the PEAR DB and Metabase php database
|
|
abstraction layers.
|
|
|
|
It provides a common API for all supported RDBMS. The main difference
|
|
to most other DB abstraction packages is that MDB2 goes much further
|
|
to ensure portability. MDB2 provides most of its many features
|
|
optionally that can be used to construct portable SQL statements:
|
|
|
|
* Object-Oriented API
|
|
* A DSN (data source name) or array format for specifying database servers
|
|
* Datatype abstraction and on demand datatype conversion
|
|
* Various optional fetch modes to fix portability issues
|
|
* Portable error codes
|
|
* Sequential and non sequential row fetching as well as bulk fetching
|
|
* Ability to make buffered and unbuffered queries
|
|
* Ordered array and associative array for the fetched rows
|
|
* Prepare/execute (bind) named and unnamed placeholder emulation
|
|
* Sequence/autoincrement emulation
|
|
* Replace emulation
|
|
* Limited sub select emulation
|
|
* Row limit emulation
|
|
* Transactions/savepoint support
|
|
* Large Object support
|
|
* Index/Unique Key/Primary Key support
|
|
* Pattern matching abstraction
|
|
* Module framework to load advanced functionality on demand
|
|
* Ability to read the information schema
|
|
* RDBMS management methods (creating, dropping, altering)
|
|
* Reverse engineering schemas from an existing database
|
|
* SQL function call abstraction
|
|
* Full integration into the PEAR Framework
|
|
* PHPDoc API documentation
