Metabase

\"A DBMS-independent package to access and manage databases with PHP.\"(Manuel Lemos)

"Metabase consists of a set of PHP classes to access and manage databases using an API that assures DBMS independence. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft Access, ODBC, Interbase, Informix, MiniSQL, and SQLite flat file databases. There is a function library that interfaces with DBMS specific driver classes, a parser class that interperts a custom XML format used to describe database schemas, and a manager class that installs database schema objects (tables, indexes, sequences) using the Metabase API. The manager class is also able to upgrade a previously installed database to a new schema without affecting that data that was stored since the database was installed or was upgraded for the last time. There is also schema reverse engineering support to help migrate database-specific applications and start using Metabase."(Manuel Lemos)
