  <summary>database abstraction layer</summary>
  <description>
    PEAR MDB is a merge of the PEAR DB and Metabase php database abstraction layers.

    It provides a common API for all support RDBMS. The main difference to most other DB abstraction packages is that MDB goes much further to ensure portability. Among other things MDB features:
    * An OO-style query API
    * A DSN (data source name) or array format for specifying database servers
    * Datatype abstraction and on demand datatype conversion
    * Portable error codes
    * Sequential and non sequential row fetching as well as bulk fetching
    * Ordered array and associative array for the fetched rows
    * Prepare/execute (bind) emulation
    * Sequence emulation
    * Replace emulation
    * Limited Subselect emulation
    * Row limit support
    * Transactions support
    * Large Object support
    * Index/Unique support
    * Module Framework to load advanced functionality on demand
    * Table information interface
    * RDBMS management methods (creating, dropping, altering)
    * RDBMS independent xml based schema definition management
    * Altering of a DB from a changed xml schema
    * Reverse engineering of xml schemas from an existing DB (currently only MySQL)
    * Full integration into the PEAR Framework
    * Wrappers for the PEAR DB and Metabase APIs
    * PHPDoc API documentation

    Currently supported RDBMS:
    MySQL
    PostGreSQL
    Oracle
    Frontbase
    Querysim
    Interbase/Firebird
    MSSQL
    Other soon to follow.

      - cosmetic fixes
      MDB Class:

      test suite:
      - minor improvements to the test suite
      - fixed most CS issues in the test suite

      - added a test for MDB::singleton()
      MDB_Common:
      - fixed bug in support() that would result in always returning true
      - fixed bug in getValue() when $type is empty
      - fixed bug in getDSN() incorrect handling of port value
      - fixed bug in currID() which would result in a fatal error
      - fixed the common implementation of fetchInto()
      - added MDB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC to the common implementation of fetchInto()
      All drivers:
      - backported several fixes from HEAD to each of the drivers
      - fixed bug in extension detection in all drivers
      - fixed bug 22328
      - added notes at the top of the driver regarding driver specfic issues
      - disconnect now unsets instead of overwriting with '' in $GLOBALS['_MDB_databases']
      - added optimize option
      - lowercase keys in associative results if optimize option is set to portability
      MySQL driver:
      - fixed bug in the transaction support detection in the manager class
      Interbase driver:
      - now passes all but the transaction test
      - now also supports associative fetching
      - added missing getTypeDeclaration() method
      - fixed replace emulation
      - fixed bug in interbase driver LOB handling

      MSSQL driver:
      - now passes all tests
      - numerous bug fixes
      FBSQL driver:
      - numerous bug fixes to all parts of the driver (especially to the connection handling,
      datatype abstraction, limit support and manager class)
      PGSQL driver:
      - fixed a bug in the error code mapping due to changes in recent PostGreSQL versions

        - Moved code from the Common constructor into MDB::connect()
        - Moved code from the Driver constructor into the drivers connect method
        - PostGreSQL reverse engineering partly implemented

        Since the changelog for the 1.1.0 release was incomplete here follows the complete list of changes from the 1.0 release:
        Minor bugfixes and PHPDoc enhancements
        PEAR-ized directory structure and class names
        Added PHPUnit test suite (browser and cli)
        Manager.php does not load MDB.php anymore (include MDB.php instead and use MDB::loadFile())
        MDB::connect() does not need to be modified anymore to add support for a new driver
        API changes:
        - MDB_common::loadExtension renamed to MDB_common::loadModule
        - MDB::assertExtension was dropped in favor of PEAR::loadExtension
        - MDB::loadFile was added to load additional files (from now on only MDB.php will be included directly)
