Talk:Database abstraction layer

Security

It's important to mention that an "Abstraction Layer" on databases improves security by providing API functions which automatically escape queries from malicious injection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.48.136.233 (talk) 05:24, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

ORM is not Abstraction Layer

It's not important to differ between Mapping and Abstraction Layer? I've read about ORM in here.

API level abstraction layers

"Popular use[sic] for database abstraction layers are among object-oriented programming languages, which are similar to API level abstraction layers"

--Is this statement saying that OOP languages are similar to API level abstraction layers? If so, could that be elaborated on? If not, that is a misplaced modifier. Also I think "Popular use" should be changed to "Popular uses" to match the present plural verb "are." --Patriotic dissent (talk) 14:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

I think it's supposed to convey that OOP languages typically make heavy use of API-level DALs. An abstraction layer can be built in an OOP language, but OOP languages operate on an entirely different level. Henry Merriam (talk) 19:52, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Examples

Since OpenDBX was deleted, perhaps we need to put that info here?
