    9 >> Introduction
   10 
   11 PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a 
   12 need for a database class library to hide the differences between the 
   13 different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily 
   14 switch databases.
   15 
   16 We currently support MySQL, Interbase, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle, 
   17 Microsoft SQL server,  Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2,
   18 Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO. 
   19 
   20 We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases.
