ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP
This is a database framework for PHP. It’s a great improvement in how to deal with databases and SQL with PHP. It enhaces the security and speed for both execution and programming time. Once you try, I doubt you’ll ever want to go back to the old php functions.
- Designed for speed. It is probably the fastest open source database abstraction library available for PHP. See benchmarks.
- Provides extensive portability support such as date and type-handling and portable schema creation. See portable sql tips
- Support many enterprise features such as database backed sessions (with session expiry notification), SQL code generation, pivot tables, SELECT LIMIT emulation for all databases, performance monitoring.
- Easy to learn, especially if you have Window’s programming experience, as it uses many ADO conventions.
- Extensive QA, every release is unit-tested on Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Oracle 9.
- Mature, continiously developed since August 2000. Has a large community of users.
- Very reasonable licensing terms (BSD). This means that you can incorporate (and even compile) it into your software applications royalty-free without asking the author’s permission, provided you include license.txt in your release. Also dual-licensed (Lesser GPL).
