# The databases/pear-DB port

## pear-DB-1.7.14 – database abstraction layer for PHP

## Description

    DB is a database abstraction layer providing:

    * an OO-style query API
    * portability features that make programs written for one DBMS work with other DBMS's
    * a DSN (data source name) format for specifying database servers
    * prepare/execute (bind) emulation for databases that don't support it natively
    * a result object for each query response
    * portable error codes
    * sequence emulation
    * sequential and non-sequential row fetching as well as bulk fetching
    * formats fetched rows as associative arrays, ordered arrays or objects
    * row limit support
    * transactions support
    * table information interface
    * DocBook and PHPDoc API documentation

    DB layers itself on top of PHP's existing database
    extensions. The currently supported extensions are:
    dbase, fbsql, interbase, informix, msql, mssql, mysql,
    mysqli, oci8, odbc, pgsql, sqlite and sybase.
