[ale] PHP SQL parser (was: DB abstraction for PHP)

[J.M. Taylor]

John,

I've been looking for about a year and have yet to find what you're
talking about...you want true abstraction.  PEAR doesn't do much IMHO.

So far what I've done is write a wrapper script that handles the db
connection based on a paramter, and returns your result in an array of
assoc arrays.  In *theory* it works great (and it sure does make calling
the DB easier) but in practice I've never tried it on vastly different DBs
and frankly have no knowledge of how cross-db my SQL statements would
really be. :(

What you (and I) really want is a PHP SQL parser.  It's on my list of
things to write but it's so far away that I'm afraid I can't be of any
more help than to offer the wrapper script.

Anyone know of any other resourses for this?

Jenn
