I am still reliant on ADOdb and have on a number of occasions back
ported to that where projects have 'upgraded' to PDO. I still see no
reason for everybody to be reinventing the wheel when we HAD a perfectly
practical solution 10+ years ago. It would be nice to restore it's
speed-up extension once again and certainly I will be ensuring
everything works with PHP7. There are a number of other layers, but all
PDO seems to have done is fragment the code base with everybody doing
their own thing SQL abstraction wise, rather than our producing a
standard such as ADOdb provides?

The good thing is that replacing PDO with something else at the base
level is not a major exercise as most frameworks don't call it direct
anyway :)
