Hey Folks,

Has anybody here developed their stuff with ADODB? I want to move into cleaner, quicker, more portable PHP coding..

I've looked @ this class before but have just been using my own sql wrappers - is it worth the time to figure out the ADODB syntax and start using it?

comments appreciated

About two years ago I have moved away from ADODB in favor of a home grown sql wrapper for quick tasks but falling back to native php/mysql function when speed is an issue.

But now all new development is done with PDO, I have found it to offer everything I have needed.
 
I'd rather work with PDO than take the time to create new wrappers. Actually don't see the need anymore. I've played with adodb and just never enjoyed it
 
If you are working strictly in a MySQL (or more like a single database system) enviroment, then ADODB (or the lite version, which I have used in a multidatabase system before and loved it!) is overkill in my opinion.

Probably 75% of what we do is simple stuff. Write a wrapper once, and use it always. Or use PEAR/PDO.
