That PDO is the way to go if you access a DB "directly". As you still need 
to cope with SQL variants you need a little help in creating SQL 
statements. So it's still ADOdb for me.

I don't know if a dev is still allowed to access a SQL-DB by other means 
then via the CR.

IMHO the PHP-CR should use ADOdb to access the SQL-DB. Any other code 
should use ADOdb as well. All current SQL-generating code should be 
replaced by ones accessing ADOdb directly (no Mysql-SQL parsing and 
recreating as done with DBAL).
