Installation

Install Database with Composer.

composer require raxos/database

Requirements

• PHP 8.5 or newer.
• The following PHP extensions:
  • ext-pdo
  • pdo_mysql for MySql and MariaDb connections.
  • pdo_sqlite for SQLite connections.

Only the PDO driver for the database you actually connect to is needed. A project that talks to MySQL or MariaDB requires pdo_mysql, a project on SQLite requires pdo_sqlite, and a project that uses both requires both.

Raxos dependencies

Database depends on one other Raxos package:

• raxos/foundation: supplies the ArrayAccessible and ObjectAccessible access traits used by Model, the Stopwatch timing helper used by the query logger, and shared utilities.

The Query and Statement classes also return collection types (ArrayList, ModelArrayList and Paginated) that come from the collection package pulled in transitively.
