Database
This project is a database access layer for PHP that provides a consistent interface for interacting with multiple relational database management systems. It functions as a unified abstraction layer, enabling developers to connect to various SQL databases and perform data operations through a standardized command set.
The library distinguishes itself by utilizing a fluent query builder that allows for the programmatic construction of complex SQL statements. It further abstracts database interactions through a schema definition language, which enables the creation, modification, and management of database structures such as tables and indexes directly through code.
The framework covers a broad range of database management tasks, including the execution of raw queries and the automation of schema migrations. By employing a driver-specific adapter pattern and leveraging native PHP data objects, the library ensures compatibility across different database engines while maintaining a consistent programmatic approach to data storage and structure.
