Easy for Windows programmers to adapt to because many
of the conventions are similar to Microsoft's ADO.
Unlike other PHP database classes which focus only on select statements,
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.
