You do realise that other than the name and a deliberate similarity in
function names, ADOdb has nothing to do with Microsoft ADO - it's just a thin
PHP library providing the sort of access methods you're talking about on top of
various PHP native database access functions?

IMHO, ADOdb _is_ the best practice of accessing databases in PHP.
