to prepend the 'N' char before any SQL literal sent to DB, mainly because nobody (ODBTP, FreeTDS, ODBC, SQL*Server) seems to be doing this task, and it prevents, in an high degree true cross-db compatibility. Once we've moved to prepared statements and some of the developers for any of the products above (hopefully MS, at server level) will avoid the 'N', we'll be able to go back to another mssql drivers.

>> ADODB Library for PHP4
(c) 2000-2004 John Lim (jlim@natsoft.com.my)
Released under both BSD and GNU Lesser GPL library license.
This means you can use it in proprietary products.
>> Introduction
PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a
need for a database class library to hide the differences between the
different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily
switch databases.
We currently support MySQL, Interbase, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
Microsoft SQL server, Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2,
Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO.
We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases.
>> Documentation and Examples
Refer to the adodb/docs directory for full documentation and examples.
There is also a tutorial tute.htm that contrasts ADODB code with
mysql code.
>>> Files
Adodb.inc.php is the main file. You need to include only this file.
Adodb-*.inc.php are the database specific driver code.
Test.php contains a list of test commands to exercise the class library.
Adodb-session.php is the PHP4 session handling code.
Testdatabases.inc.php contains the list of databases to apply the tests on.
Benchmark.php is a simple benchmark to test the throughput of a simple SELECT
statement for databases described in testdatabases.inc.php. The benchmark
tables are created in test.php.
readme.htm is the main documentation.
tute.htm is the tutorial.
