SugiPHP.DBAL
============

[](#sugiphpdbal)

SugiPHP database abstraction layer extends PDO and gives you:

- Lazy database connection. This means that creating a PDO instance (SugiPHP\\DBAL\\Connection) will not establish a connection to the DB. The connection will occur only if you use a method that requires a connection. If (for some reason) you don't wish to use this feature, call connect() method right after the object creation.
- Add an event listener (callable) for some PDO methods, giving you the ability to log statements and profile them.
