Recently i have seen Pear:DB package for writing the abstract php code for different databases, i mean creating a common object and using it. Is there any other way to write abstract code for different databases without using the package PEAR in php. I mean built in php functions.
You may want to try Metabase or its PEAR flavour fork MDB. It provides true database independence so you do not have to handle database differences in your application.
It also supports database schema instalation or update from a database definition file format in XML that describes your database tables, fields, indexes and sequences also in a database independent format. So, you do not have to wonder the exact database specific SQL statements to install or alter your database schema when you need it.
