-ADODB stands for Active Data Objects Data Base.
+From the Introduction:
+
+PHP is a wonderful language for building dynamic web pages.
+Unfortunately, PHP's database access functions are not standardised.
+Every database extension uses a different and incompatibile API.
+This creates a need for a database class library to hide the differences
+between the different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can
+easily switch databases.
-ADODB provides a common API to communicate with any supported database.
+ADODB stands for Active Data Objects Data Base.
-Supported databases:
+ADODB currently supports:
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Oracle, MS SQL 7
- Foxpro, Access, ADO, Sybase and generic ODBC.
