When starting out, start out right with ado-db and don't look back. It'll ease transitions incase you ever have to change engines.
I am curious, why not use the DB module[1] that is included along with the standard PEAR distribution? Do you feel there are advantages to using ado-db over PEAR DB?
I started out using DB dependent calls (e.g. mysql_connect, etc.) but quickly migrated to PEAR DB as I became aware of its existence because of the layer of abstraction and DB independence its provides. If there is an even better module for abstracting the DB then PEAR DB, I am definitely interested in hearing more about it.
