None of them abstract the database completely, really. You still have to write database-specific SQL statements.
If abstraction libraries are being looked at, or the abstraction layer in Drupal will be refactored, I encourage folks to look at PEAR's new MDB2 pacakge. Very good abstraction, including table creation and alterations.
A real abstraction would allow you to encapsulate the database objects as objects,
Personally, I'm prefer directly writing SQL over data objects. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
