I am looking for feedback on the new version of my database class.
I know a lot of people will roll their eyes and think "Why do we need another database access class? There is ADODB, PEAR😃B, and all the other ones out there..." So let me explain why I built mine.
In my opinion, most database classes are way too complicated to use. They were designed to do a lot of things - that's why they have a lot of functions with a bunch of parameters to do all the fancy stuff they do. But I wanted to have a db class with a small interface, with a few but powerful functions to do the common, daily things easy and fast.
That was the basic idea behind anyDB. It provides db access to MYSQL, POSTGRES, DBX and SQLite. The new beta also supports ODBC. And if you want to use some of the big and fancy database classed I created wrapper to use PHPLIB, ADODB, PEAR😃B and Metabase through my interface as well.
What I am interested in, is feedback regarding the interface and its functions of the new beta. So tell me when you think a feature is missing or it needs some improvement. But feel free to comment on anything else as well...
Documentation, phpdoc and the .zip can be found here (http://www.lennartgroetzbach.de/anydb-beta.php).
Thx,
Lennart
