Introduction
============

[](#introduction)

PHP's database access functions are not standardized. This creates a need for a database class library to hide the differences between the different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily switch databases.

The library currently supports MySQL, Firebird & Interbase, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2, Sybase, Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO.

We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases.

Installation
============

You can debug using:
