ADODB also has the excellent feature of a shorthand, generalized SQL format that's incredibly useful for specifying cross-platform schema.

We use this in the Mantis project to define a list of sequential schema definitions, which then gets applied one-by-one to generate or upgrade an installation's database, and it works on MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Oracle, and DB2.

nothing against adodb but if mantis is any clue it doesn't solve this problem. I've tried installing postgres in mantis and it was a no go due to known bugs, related to the area of schema definitions.
