Thanks for the info. I probably need to make myself more clear, as I'm not referring to a database abstraction layer in terms of drivers (e.g., "dbx" in PHP, DBI in Perl).
I think the best example of what I'm talking about is in Tim Kientzle's "Perl and Rapid Database Prototyping" article of December's TPJ:

The first few paragraphs should give you the basic idea, so let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks!

If you mean some sort of database abstraction so one script would work on MySQL as well as Oracle; there is not such a thing within PHP itself. The google search term would 'database abstraction layer' and a popular one is ADODB (not to be confused with the other adoDB), at http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB.
If that's not what you mean please try to explain it again....
