chevron/db
==========

[](#chevrondb)

Db is a simple PDO wrapper that offers some basic security and a few helper methods to make interacting with DBs a little easier. While write queries are reasonably abstracted, you are still expected to write your own read queries.

Peruse the tests or, if present, the examples directory to see usage.

See [packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/chevron/db) for version/installation info.
