What's going on folks. I'm trying to wrap my brain around just what PDO
is. Is it a database abstraction layer like ADOdb? Or is it just a
method to simplify access to the sql databases out there? Or is it
something else all together?
I've been working on a project and decided to use ADOdb before PDO was
available. I'm at a point where I'm looking into other options for my
database access, and where PDO fits into this scheme of things eludes me.
Thanks ahead of time for any input you may have.

Yes, it is an abstraction layer for data access. See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.pdo.php.

As Jerry stated - it is an abstract layer. For a look at using this
layer you might want to take a look at this article:

Thanks for the article. It helps explain my problem with SQlite. Seems like
a good idea to consolidate the various database functions in this way.
Hopefully now that I've figured it out and got it working, I should have few
problems in the future due to server differences.

Unfortunately, unless you stick with ANSI standard SQL (which can be
limiting), you'll always have inconsistencies when switching databases.
