The biggest drawback of PEAR DB is its interdependecies on multiple classes
from within PEAR.
What does this imply? (is it slow speeds and lesser efficiency)
Anyway, you can also use PHPLib for database abstraction.
If u r talking about using the mysql_* or pg_*(for postgres) category
of functions then my application will become highly db specific. This
is what i want to avoid. So that i can later change the app to any db
the college requires. (Dnt know, May even get ported to IIS on Windoze
with Oracle)
If working with MySQL, make sure you are not using persistant
connection. This slows down the system (MySQL).
Thanx. I was actually thinking of going for that for better speeds.
PostgreSQL is a feature rich, heavy duty database. Its not suitable for
small applications where you just need SELECT, INSERT & DELETE.
May i know why. Is it so slow.
