+- portability features that make programs written for one DBMS work with other

+- a DSN (data source name) format for specifying database servers
+- prepare/execute (bind) emulation for databases that don't support it natively

-Drivers for the following extensions pass the complete test suite and
-provide interchangeability when all of DB's portability options are
-enabled: fbsql, ibase, informix, msql, mssql, mysql, mysqli, oci8,
-odbc, pgsql, sqlite and sybase.
+DB layers itself on top of PHP's existing database extensions.
