[Typo3-dev] DBAL Drivers

[Michael Stucki]

Hey Masi,

> The core and all compliant extensions use t3lib_db.php (ie
> $GLOBALS[TYPO3_DB]) for all database operations. This class provides an
> "interface" for DB access and implements this "interface" with Mysql. The
> DBAL extension changes this class (probably with an XCLASS) to use ADOdb
> instead of the Mysql API.

I don't think that's necessary. I'm just guessing but think that a few lines
of localconf-php template code will be enough for starting with it.

Karsten?
