Hi Robin, > I have been looking at different database abstraction layers such as > propel or pearDB
Propel is an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) rather than a database abstraction layer - it uses Creole for database abstraction. PDO itself provides data access abstraction so if that's all you're after then no, you don't really need anything more. If you wanted database abstraction (rewriting SQL or emulating things like autoincrement fields) you would need more than you've got - that's when PearDB and Creole are useful.
