The company I work for currently uses some basic functions to abstract the OCI libraries as a means for DB connectivity. We’re considering switching to PHP’s PDO object, but from some quick searches, it looks like the Oracle driver is a bit less mature than the other PDO drivers. I would appreciate some pro/cons for PDO/oci8 from anyone who has used it in a production environment.
Thanks!
It seems to me that Oracle is not interested in developing a driver for PDO it’s developing it’s own driver to keep you close to oracle database… to oracle driver… etc. 🙂
As far as I’ve seen there is no problem if you can cope with max. texts of VARCHAR2 of 4000 CHARS. If you need CLOBs (and/or bigger) don’t go with PDO_OCI.
I’ve created a suite of classes “PDOSurrogate” as a drop in replacement for PDO with Oracle.
When PDO is mature enough I can use Refactor->Rename to change it to PDO.
