MDB_QueryTool 1.1.0 has been released.
MDB_QueryTool is a PHP OO abstraction to the SQL query language, it provides methods such as setWhere(), setOrder(), setGroup(), setJoin(), etc. to easily build queries.
It also provides an easy to learn interface that interacts nicely with HTML forms using arrays that contain the column data, that shall be updated/added in a DB.
This package bases on an SQL-Builder which lets you easily build SQL statements and execute them.
The package has been fully tested with MySQL, PostgreSQL and Firebird.
The latest release adds support for MDB2 as the backend.
