adodb database connection (mysqli driver)
A programmer I hired wants to connect mysql to php
http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
Are the chosen drivers mysqli and mysql (soon to be deprecated)?
I see that there is error reporting is included with adodb.
I have asked previous questions about error reporting with mysqli which requires a developer to create custom classes.
When I suggest adodb, experts on experts exchange suggest using mysqli or pdo,
but I can use adodb and mysqli

All things being equal, why not just use PDO? I don't see the advantage in ADODB.

>>That particular 'ADOdb' library adds a layer of abstraction on top of the actual driver. Looks similar to the PDO concept where they are trying to make all the databases look the same.
So I ADOdb missing any important features?
>>All things being equal, why not just use PDO? I don't see the advantage in ADODB.
Programmer suggests that using ADODB is easier for him and I have delayed that part of the project days.
Is there a disadvantage?

Note that that isn't the same as Microsoft ADODB which is what I thought you were asking about.
I thought it was mssql initially also.
A related question is that developer going to be around to support his code or is he going to be gone when the project is done?
thanks
