I'm looking for any comparisons of PHP Database Abstraction Layers out
there, with an eye towards speed/efficiency. I'm still using PEAR::DB,
which obviously leaves something to be desired.

I'm at a point now where I can look at switching to a better system.

It's kind of a moving target. PHP now ships with DBX, has long supported
ODBC (although that doesn't provide a lot of abstraction - and does add
complexity). ADODB has been around a while and seems well liked. Newest kid
on the block is Service Data Objects
(http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...-lnxw82PHP-SDO)
Searching phpclasses.org for database abstraction brings up a bewildering
array of choices.
