Re: [phplib] database abstraction From: Andrew Chen (achen <email protected>)

Jeff:

It's really quite simple-- you are either extending the DB_Sql and filling
in the variable names or you are using DB_Sql directly. In either case,
the question is, from what file is the DB_Sql you are using located? By
default it's db_mysql.inc but you can change that to db_oracle.inc. You do
this in the prepend.inc file.

However, you probably will want to rewrite your db code so that you are
using all the nice new features of Oracle (mainly transactions) but other
than that you are all set.

I hope this answers your question, but if you were asking about something
more specific please let me know.

Regards,
Andrew
