Database abstraction library

What are your recommendations for lightweight database abstraction
library (Oracle/MySQL)?
I prefer OOP. :)

Tnx, Ivan.

You are looking for the impossible. "Lightweigh t abstraction" is a
contradiction in terms...

I don't know what is ment by "lightweigh t database abstraction". But this
link is worth reading http://aphp.yasashiisyndicate.org/wiki/ActiveTable it
uses oops. An example implementation is http://modulargaming.com/

I don't need huge level of abstraction, I just need little and fast
library that support some common functionality for Oracle (or MySql)
database.
Hope that clears possible language barrier. :)

Maybe "lightweigh t library for database abstraction layer" sounds
better...

Have a look at ADODB (yes it is PHP).

Ivan,

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).

Again, it's not possible, because abstraction can't be fast. Once you
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%:

I will prefer Db.php from pear. It is very commonly used for this job.

A user writes this sentence: "It was the New Urbanist's nightmare of sprawl run amok." They input that and my PHP script hits it with addslashes() and then the sentence gets put in the database. A slash is likely inserted in front of the quote mark in "Urbanist's". Later the user runs a search of the database for "New Urbanist's nightmare".

Greetings All, On past projects in PHP4 I had always just written my own libraries to deal with database interaction. Somehow I was operating in the dark that there were all these database abstraction things available that made my work on the libraries I made from scratch a waste of time. So now I've started researching all these things that are available, and I have to say I am a little confused. It's a matter of understanding the...

Is my following understanding correct ? Data abstraction means providing the interface - that is, the set of functions that can be called by the user of a class. Information hiding means mentioning the class members(functions, typedefs, data) under the access control labels : public, protected, private. Encapsulation means providing the implementation of class member

Hi All. I'm a PHP programer moving to ASP.NET for this project I'm working on. The project I'm working on will require that the ASP.NET application support multiple databases (e.g. Oracle, MySQL and MSSQL). I've done some google searching but am not finding an answer to my question. Is there a database abstraction layer for ASP.NET similar to how there is one for PHP? If not any suggestions/articles on writing one?
