Summary               Database Abstraction Layer
Description           DB is a database abstraction layer providing:
                      * an OO-style query API
                      * portability features that make programs
                      written for one DBMS work with other DBMS's
                      * a DSN (data source name) format for specifying
                      database servers
                      * prepare/execute (bind) emulation for databases
                      that don't support it natively
                      * a result object for each query response
                      * portable error codes
                      * sequence emulation
                      * sequential and non-sequential row fetching as
                      well as bulk fetching
                      * formats fetched rows as associative arrays,
                      ordered arrays or objects
                      * row limit support
                      * transactions support
                      * table information interface
                      * DocBook and phpDocumentor API documentation

                      DB layers itself on top of PHP's existing
                      database extensions.

                      Drivers for the following extensions pass
                      the complete test suite and provide
                      interchangeability when all of DB's
                      portability options are enabled:

                       fbsql, ibase, informix, msql, mssql,
                       mysql, mysqli, oci8, odbc, pgsql,
                       sqlite and sybase.

                      There is also a driver for the dbase
                      extension, but it can't be used
                      interchangeably because dbase doesn't
                      support many standard DBMS features.

                      DB is compatible with both PHP 4 and PHP 5.

Release Notes         Changes since 1.7.13:

                      All drivers:
                      * Made the definition of DB_common::raiseError()
                      compatible with PEAR::raiseError() by adding
                      dummy parameters.  Request 11581.
                      * Fixed SKIP block in the 20locale.phpt test.
                      * Fixed non-persistent connections to really be
                      non-persistent when unserialising. Bug 15115.

                      ibase:
                      * Changed the order of regular expressions
                      applied when mapping errors so that constraint
                      violations in PHP 4.4 are actually reported as
                      constraint violations and not table not found
                      errors.
                      * Fixed a test that should have been skipped in
                      PHP 4.4.


                      ifx:
                      * Use PCRE rather than ereg. Bug 17722, patch by
                      Olle Jonsson.

                      mssql:
                      * Fix escaping of string values with lines
                      ending in a backslash character. Bug 16117.

                      oci8:
                      * Fix for last_query reconstruction with lots of
                      placeholders.  Bug 12418, patch by Nicholas
                      Evans.
                      * Fix replacement of values in last_query for
                      :bind's numbered over 10. Bug 14603.
                      * Unset $_prepared_queries in freePrepared().
                      Bug 14271.

                      pgsql:
                      * Added special-case to handle SAVEPOINT queries
                      as manip queries.  Bug 12260.
                      * Implement rudimentary support for
                      WITH...SELECT queries. Bug 17136.

                      * Implement auto_increment support in
