SVN Repository for Zend_Db without PDO

In the third part of the series - Zend_Db without a PDO, David Coallier over at the Agora blog updates you about the SVN Repository. In the previous article, he discussed how Zend Framework could be used with MDB2 (PHP 5 only) instead of a PDO. He provided the fix with the help of a code. He also used PHP_MySQL to accentuate the use of PHP instead of the PDO.

In the second part, he informs you that the tutorial is a merge of PEAR and the Zend Framework in order to connect to as many databases as possible with the Zend_Db database layer. He said it could be done by having the same API than the normalZend_Db without PDO (PECL) but only with PHP.

In the third part, he informs you of a SVN repository related to the topic. The repository is divided into four parts—PHP, tests, changelog and Db.php. The PHP section gives us information about a log message: ‘good files well placed’ in its categories of MDB2, Dbphp.php, Mssql.php, MySQL.php, Oci8.php, PgSQL.php and SQLite.php. The changelog features a list of changes in all the versions of Zend_Db. The section Db.php, consist of example codes which gives you information about the license, how to code a class for connecting SQL databases and performing common operations and such.
