May I request u to name good ones so that our study minimizes to few ones for suitability. I Guess these will be Hibernate equivalent, are they ? > > Built in PHP is PHP Data objects library that can help you with this problem > as well if you need a thin layer for your database layer. > True we searched the links for PDO Steve has given and going to study them in detail for judging its suitability in our project. if u know some more good alternatives plz go ahead and suggest us since we are starting a fresh we dont have constraints. However we will give enough time to finalize the data access layer since that will be a strategic decision for our all future web applications. So we will evaluate thoroughly every short listed framework and technology for suitability in our most of the existing projects which probably might need to be converted into web application. Thanks and best regards. Raja
