Pseudo PostreSQL ADODB: PostgreSQL ADOdb Replacement

Pseudo PostreSQL ADODB README

Description:

Pseudo PostgreSQL ADODB is a PHP class designed as a drop-in replacement for ADOdb for PHP applications that do 
not need the full power of ADOdb, want to remain light and fast but want to remain comptable with ADOdb.

The API of PostgreSQL ADODB Emulation was designed to be comptable with ADOdb.  I was able to remove ADOdb from my
application framework and use this class instead, I noticed a 20% performance increase and the framework is smaller
because this class is just one file instead of many (of course your performance may vary from mine).

This script is distributed primarily for people with existing experience with ADOdb, if you need help you may contact
me though.

Example:

Following is an example of using PostgreSQL ADOdb Emulation, you may also reference the ADOdb documentation online at 
http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB

// include pg-adodb class
include_once('pg-adodb-class.php');

// create instance of the class
$db = new PG_ADODB();

// connect to the database
$db->Connect('database-hostname', 'username', 'password', 'database');

// execute a SQL query
$users_result = &$db->Execute("SELECT firstname,lastname FROM users ORDER BY lastname,firstname ASC");

// list each user
while ($users_row = $users_result->FetchRow()) {
   print $users_row['firstname'] . ' ' . $users_row['lastname'] . '<br>';
}

// free result set
$users_result->Close();

// free memory
unset($users_row, $users_result);
