ADOdb

ADOdb hides the differences between the different databases so developers can easily switch databases without changing code.

ADOdb is used in lots of projects around the web and is almost considered a standard on its own.

What is new in this release:

• datadict-postgres: Also fixed bugs in MetaType() checking $fieldobj properties.
