The general list of data access providers has been given before and isn't surprising.

We bring development, maintenance, testing and documentation folk. We bring in-depth data access knowledge. We bring previous experience from working on standards. We bring experience from working on PHP. A side benefit is that this leads to more people familiar with PHP code and PHP processes. This grows the pool of talent with the potential to contribute to PHP in general (as my management would like me to do). The people are also able to help shape their future databases to help the PHP user, for example, Oracle's Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP).
