PDO-like DB access, plus helper methods. PDO is a nice idea, but has too many driver bugs and inconsistencies to be used as-is without a wrapper. Interfaces are designed with a PDO implementation in mind, but non-PDO implementations are allowed for in cases where drivers don't exist or are simply too buggy.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- For schema conversions, minimum MySQL version is 5.6
