Just to justify NC a bit, PEAR::DB is a bit bloated and slow, and its
interface is cumbersome. It isn't the best database abstraction layer
out there. It is still, I believe, based upon and using PHP4
objects/concepts.
There is also the PDO stuff, I haven't looked that though, but I think
its a compiled (native C) thing, so it probably hauls ass.
That doesn't detract from Jim's statements about abstraction layers.
What abstraction layers lose in performance (which is miniscule, for
the most part), they gain in ease of use, portability, and
maintainability.
