Database
Database is a database abstraction layer. This cleverly named class allows a user to connect to several different types of databases supported by PHP. Currently, only MySQL is supported, but support for others may be added quickly upon request, and will come eventually without request.
The reason Database exists is to provide a light-weight database objects that can be used like arrays. Using the PHP 5 Standard Library Database provides array-like access to your queries. It also rolls prepared statement functionality into the same api as the regular functionality to reduce the complexity of usage.
The MySQL driver has been thoroughly tested and used in production enviroments. The MSSQL driver has been recently ported and is not fully tested. Please submit any bugs found to me at the email address jacwright at gmail dot com, thank you.
