Database Independence?

Hello all,

I am trying to convince my company to make the switch from Oracle Application Server to PHP. However, all database calls seem to be database-specific. We would rather our applications code not be tied to any specific database, should we want to switch from Oracle sometime in the future.

Is there any way to specify a connection once and use standard SQL syntax rather than using ORA_* and/or OCI* ? I have used ColdFusion in the past and it was able to do this quite well. If not, are there any plans to add this functionality?

Thanks in advance,

-Stefan
