Warning: This is alpha-quality software. I might change the arguments to some of the methods at a later stage, so you shouldn't be using this class for larger projects yet. My purpose of releasing the class at this stage is to get valuable feedback, so I hope you'll send me your comments.

Fasdab

Fasdab is a PHP database abstraction layer that supports PostgreSQL and MySQL. There are plenty of classes (e.g. PEAR's database classes) and even native PHP functions (dbx) that provide a uniform interface to more than one database server. However, none of them seem to fit my needs. What I need is a database abstraction layer that minimizes that amount of code I need to write to perform simple tasks like fetching data from a database. Although minimal, the code needs to be easily readable.
