Quick Poll: Do you abstract your DB functions?
Sunday 28 Oct, 2007 10:23 PM
This one has always had me wondering how everyone else did it, so I figured what better way to find out than to put up a quick poll.
So it's fairly straightforward: in your code, do you have a database wrapper class with abstracted functions like query(), or do you call mysql_query() (or equivalent) directly from your code?
Leave a comment below if you're outraged that I even had to ask.

Wow, very close so far. I guess it really depends on the scale of your app...

I write massive apps and my wrappers are thick and throbbing. But seriously who can go past a good set of wrapper functions
