I find ADODB to be totally overkill and messy for just about any
application. PEAR DB has a nice and clean interface but it is tied
into the still rather immature PEAR classes which bothers me. I
personally use the PHPLIB DB abstraction and I find it very fast and
clean. Each database abstraction library is self-sufficient, unlike
PEAR DB. Plus thousands of programmers have been using PHPLIB for
years so it is mature and has a great user base. It is not perfect
but it has functioned beautifully for several large projects I have
worked on.
Each DB layer has its advantages and disadvantages. My suggestion is
to try each of them for a couple dozen lines of code and see which
one you like.
