PHP has a database abrstraction layer built into language that offers support for postgres in addition to a couple of fairly popular abstractions / ORMs / other alternatives.
This has nothing to do with either language and everything to do with the projects themselves. Stop dissing languages based on the distant past, especially not when using Perl.
- greglindahl 13y agoEverything has a database abstraction layer available. The problem is that programmers often don't use them. The perl CMSes obviously aren't using DBI, or they'd still be supporting Postgres... no need to turn the thread into language-related complaining when it is a universal problem.
- rjbond3rd 13y ago> ...obviously aren't using DBI There's really no way to use MySQL without DBI. But at that level, one is still writing db-specific SQL -- perhaps you mean an ORM?
