[nycphp-talk] Trying to decide between MDB2 and PHP PDO

Hi, I work with Kevin. Our application needs to run on both mySQL and Oracle
so we are looking for portability. We currently are using PEAR DB and we are
looking into moving to MDB2 or PDO so we thought it would be a good idea to
test performance before we make a decision. Amazing what you find when you
dig ...

Thanks for the ideas and perspective
