OO database libraries?

[Berislav Lopac]

I am looking for a good general-purpose database-handling library for PHP.
The ideal one would be as much as possible object-oriented, and I 'm
currently looking at such as ADOdb and PEAR:DB. Does anyone have any other
suggestions?

I use metabase, but there is also PEAR::MDB (a cross between metabase
and PEAR::DB). I've had good luck with metabase as far as going between
platforms and databases. However, I haven't tried any others other than
PEAR::MDB, but that was back when there was like 2 or 3 RDMS supported,
so I can't speak about the performance.

Very clean coding and simple to use.

Yes. Forget it. Any "database-handling library" (aka "database
abstraction layer") is first and foremost a waste of system resources,
creating a fairly serious overhead. For more information, see:
