We extracted the database functionality from it and made it available for other frameworks. The [Illuminate Database](https://github.com/illuminate/database) component is a full database toolkit for PHP, providing an expressive query builder, ActiveRecord style ORM, and schema builder. It currently supports MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL Server, and SQLite. We combined it with Illuminate FileSystem and Illuminate Console to make Artisan work with database related commands. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Install Composer [](#install-composer) Laravel Database utilizes [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to manage its dependencies. First, download a copy of the `composer.phar`. Once you have the PHAR archive, you can either keep it in your local project directory or move to `usr/local/bin`to use it globally on your system. On Windows, you can use the Composer [Windows installer](https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe). ### Install Laravel Database [](#install-laravel-database) Install Laravel Database by issuing the Composer create-project command in your terminal: ``` composer create-project laravel/database --prefer-dist ``` Usage Instructions ------------------ [](#usage-instructions) From your public `index.php` include the `autoload.php` in `bootstrap` folder this internally uses composer autoloader. This enables lazy loading of all db related classes. It doest not boot the database engine until you call one of the DB related class. ### Adding More Components [](#adding-more-components) For instructions on how to add more laravel components or compatible third party service providers etc., read the comments in `app/config/app.php` file ### Practical Usage Example [](#practical-usage-example) - [Restler Application Eloquent Template](https://github.com/Luracast/Restler-Application/tree/eloquent) enables restler framework application's to utilize the power and elegance of *eloquent* Official Documentation ---------------------- [](#official-documentation) Documentation for the entire framework can be found on the [Laravel website](http://laravel.com/docs). Refer to all database related sections from there. ### Credits [](#credits) All the credits for the Laravel Database goes to the Laravel Framework developers.
