PDO is not a replacement for generic drivers since it STILL requires a wrapper 
such as ADOdb to provide the necessary SQL abstraction. Simply 'abstracting' the 
data types was not a problem before PDO came along, and now we have even more 
wrapper layers simply because PDO is not a solution to the whole problem, only 
messing around with a bit of it ... incompletely. Had the effort been put into 
incoporating the ADOdb layer fully into PHP which was the working alternative at 
the time we would not be having the discussion 10 years on into how to fix the 
problems.
