    Requirements

    The Relational DAS requires that the SDO extension
    be installed. The SDO extension requires a version of PHP 5.1, and
    the Relational DAS requires a recent version that contains an
    important fix for PDO. The most up-to-date information about
    required levels of PHP should be found in the changelog for the
    package on PECL. At the time of writing, though, the Relational DAS
    requires the most recent beta level of PHP 5.1, that is PHP
    5.1.0.

    The Relational DAS uses PDO to access the
    relational database, and so should run with a variety of different
    relational databases. At the time of writing it has been tested in
    the following configurations

    • MySQL 4.1.14, on Windows. The Relational DAS
      operates correctly with the php_pdo_mysql driver that comes with
      the pre-built binaries for PHP 5.1.0.

    • MySQL 4.1.13, on Linux. It is necessary to have the
      most up-to-date PDO driver for MySQL, which comes built in to PHP
      5.1.0. It may be necessary to uninstall the usual driver that would
      have come from PECL using pear uninstall
      pdo_mysql
      . You will need to configure PHP with the
      –with-pdo-mysql option.

    • DB2 8.2 Personal Edition, on Windows. The
      Relational DAS operates correctly with the php_pdo_odbc driver that
      comes with the pre-built binaries for PHP 5.1.0.

    • DB2 8.2 Personal Developer’s Edition, on Linux. The
      Developer’s Edition is needed because it contains the include files
      needed when PHP is configured and built. You will need to configure
      PHP with the –with-pdo-odbc=ibm-db2 option.

    The Relational DAS applies changes to the database
    within a user-delimited transaction: that is, it issues a call to
    PDO::beginTransaction() before beginning to
    apply changes, and PDO::commit() or PDO::rollback() on completion. Whichever
    database is chosen, the database and the PDO driver for the
    database must support these calls.
