Reason for abandoning this project
==================================

[](#reason-for-abandoning-this-project)

`ns-php-sql` 2.0 was started to provide a clean, elegant, simple but powerful abstraction layer over the common DBMS systems. I was not satisfied by the API and/or internal design of the most popular existing projects.

After three years of peaceful development, I came to the conclusion that I will not be able to spend enough time to achieve my goals. The number of compromise, tweaks and hacks required to have a decent unified solution for "only" three different systems is astonishing. DBMS internal constraints and SQL dialects differ so much that implementing a single feature could lead to a never ending story.
