Quoted from the website:
ADODB stands for Active Data Objects Data Base. We currently support
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Oracle, MS SQL 7, Foxpro, Access, ADO,
Sybase and generic ODBC . The Sybase and PostgreSQL drivers are
community contributions. We hope more people will contribute drivers to
support more databases. Unique Features of ADODB
* Easy for Windows programmers to understand and port ASP code to
PHP to because many of the conventions are similar to Microsoft's
ADO.
* We provide support code to handle inserts and updates which can
be adapted to multiple databases quickly. Methods are provided
for date handling, string concatenation and string quoting
characters for differing databases.
* A metatype system is built in so that we can figure out that
types such as CHAR, TEXT and STRING are equivalent in different
databases.
* Easy to port because all the database dependant code are stored
in stub functions. You do not need to port the core logic of the
classes.
* SQL to popup menu (<SELECT>) support included
* PHP4 Session support.
