Lol :)
Obviously they didn't even look at the ODBC functions part of PHP :)
Besides I don't know what they're bitching about DB abstraction layer
anyway. I mean Oracle SQL and MS SQL and MYSQL and Interbase SQL is
not exatcly compatible :) So even if you use the DB Abstraction layer
to connect to the DB you still screwed when it comes to SQL syntax :)
At least with PHP you can use tool like Metabase libs which will
perform abstraction for stuff like this as well as DB connection etc.
