Some points pro ADODB:

- We don't need to maintain it. This is one important point for me. We
really don't have the man power to add all the supported databases to our
database class. And currently is no one developing this classes anymore.
It would be nice to have a class which gets developed further without our
need.

- Porting
There are many projects which are using ADODB. These projects can be easier
ported to phpGroupware, when we use the same database class.

- Support for more databases then we have now.



The only feature i see is missing, is the table creation stuff. But maybe we
can work together with the adodb people, to get this into adodb.

Just my thougts.
