You can use: - txtSQL http://txtsql.sourceforge.net/ Is not provided in php, you have to install it to the folder were you have your scripts or reachable by it. The sintax is not exactly as sql but is similar, the documentation included seems to be very good. I dont know if it does everything you need but it appears to have an fairly complete list of features avaliable the main drawback is compatibility (the sql instructions are not sql standard) and speed (its slower, but probably you wont even notice it).
