A database abstraction layer for PHP5

Creole is a database abstraction layer for PHP5. It abstracts PHP's
native db-specific API to create more portable code while also
providing developers with a clean fully object-oriented interface
based loosely on the API for Java's JDBC.

There are a number of database abstraction packages for PHP.
Creole draws from experience with several of these -- noteably
PEAR::DB, PEAR::MDB, and ADOdb. Creole was created as a subproject
of Propel to meet specific needs that none of the available
abstraction layers were able to address in any satisfactory way.
