Database abstraction library

What are your recommendations for lightweight database abstraction
library (Oracle/MySQL)?


I prefer OOP. :)



Tnx, Ivan.

uses oops. An example implementation is http://modulargaming.com/

Hope that clears possible language barrier. :)

Thanks for your help.

I created my own abstraction layer before PDO got going. Nothing fancy,
and much faster. Effectively it's a base class with mostly abstract
members and a derived class for each database I've used.

It's not elegant and it doesn't contain all of the bells and whistles of
PDO, but it works for me. And it didn't take that long to create it
(although I've added to it over the years).

decided to use abstraction, you must accept a performance penalty.
The extent of that penalty varies depending on the abstraction layer
used and on the type of query run. In benchmark tests, popular
abstraction layers increase execution times by anywhere between 15%
and 300%:
