PHP Application Development With ADODB (part 2) (
Page 1 of 7 )
In this concluding article, find out about ADODB's advanced
functions, with examples that demonstrate how ADODB can be used to
optimize multiple-run queries, commit and roll back transactions,
improve performance by caching query results, and automatically write
HTML (or
text) files.In the first part of this article, I introduced you to the ADODB database
abstraction library, and showed you a little of how it works. I demonstrated how
using it in your PHP application development could substantially reduce the time
spent on code rewrites if your RDBMS decided to change shape, and also gave you
a crash course in the basic functions built into the
library.
Fortunately, that isn't all she wrote. ADODB comes with a whole
bunch of bells and whistles, which allow you to do some fairly nifty new things
in your PHP scripts. Over the next few pages, I'll be showing you some of them -
so flip the page, and let's get started!
