一次编写，随处运行
| development a straightforward process. Most other so called database abstraction layers for PHP only provide a common API for all supported databases and only very limited abstraction (mostly only for sequences). MDB on the other hand can be used to abstract all data being send and received from the database. Even database schemas can be defined in a RDBMS independent format. But it does this while retaining a high level of performance and ease of use. This was achieved by closely examining two popular database abstraction layers, PEAR DB and Metabase, and merging them. But during the merging the opportunity was also used to clean up their merged APIs as well as any performance hindering design patterns. MDB 是着眼于使得编写 RDBMS 无关的 PHP 程序成为简单的过程的数据库抽象层。大部分其他的 PHP 的所谓数据库抽象层紧紧给所有支持的数据库提供了一个公用 API 以及非常有限的抽象（大部分只是针对序列的）。MDB 另一方面能够用来抽象所有数据库发送和接收的数据。甚至数据库 schema 都能被定义为 RDBMS 无关的格式。但是它提供这些功能的同时仍然保持了很高的性能以及简单易用。这是通过深入观察两个流行的数据库抽象层，PEAR DB 和 Metabase， 之后并且对它们进行了融合后获得的。而且在融合过程中，趁着这个机会清理了它们融合后的 API 以及任何影响性能的设计。 How did MDB come to be? Back in fall 2001, I was looking for a database abstraction package that would make my companies application framework RDBMS independent. The goal was to reduce database specific code to zero. The only package I found that offered such features was Metabase. But Metabase had a somewhat uncomfortable API that was partly a result of the compatibility to PHP3. This also made Metabase slower than it needed to be for our purposes, since we did not need PHP3 compatibility. Nonetheless, we decided that Metabase is our only option. But even after adding a performance enhancing patch to Metabase we felt that we were giving up too much performance. We met with the author of Metabase at the International PHP Conference 2001 and we talked about the benefits of having something like Metabase as part of the PEAR project. Shortly afterwards a discussion began once more in the PEAR mailing list about the potential benefits of a merge of PEAR DB and Metabase. After much discussion at my company we decided to take up this task. After several months of hard work we now have the first stable release of MDB. |
