The first question is probably "do you need cross database operation?" If the
answer is no, then there is little point moving to an abstraction layer, you are
better sticking with your database of choice ...
If the requirement is to allow cross database working, then one needs to address
the SQL as well as the simple data stuff which PDO attempt. I've been using
ADOdb for a long time now and have also successfully moved projects TO that when
wanting to allow them to work with my own preferred database. It successfully
maps many SQL differences and tidies up those problems.
