I'm not so sure. PHP is not exactly a general purpose language. It's meant

I would image a typical use case for php is to connect to a backend
DB and generate html. In this situation, I can't understand why a DB
abstraction layer is also not a part of the standard libraries.
I can't get why mysql_*(), mysqli_(), pg_*(), etc still exist when we
have adodb, peardb, etc.
