None of them provides database independence. If you want to switch
databases later, you need to rewrite part of your code.

Personally I use Metabase, which provides database independence not only
at the access level, but also at the database schema installation level.

There is also PEAR::MDB2 is a follow-up of PEAR::MDB that was derived
from Metabase .
