Adullam's Orbit42-Base Class is Ready to Go "Stable"

The Orbit42-Base Class, which can be used as a simple modular database abstraction, a bolt on for loose coupling, a basis for a plug-in system or simply a library to automated converting select statements into associative arrays, reaches towards stable.

London, United Kingdom, December 15, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Orbit42-Base Class (an open source development sponsered by UK company Adullam Ltd) can be used as a simple modular database abstraction, a bolt on for loose coupling, a basis for a plug-in system or simply a library to automated converting select statements into associative arrays. 

Since no bug reports have been filed and the class has been in production use for development at http://orbit42.com for some time Adullam's Orbit42 project will soon assume that there is a glorious absence of bugs and shall declare this release "stable" meaning that it is ready for a production environment.

All development to the 1.x line will be frozen except for fixes and the most vital of other additions and 2.0 Alpha shall begin just as soon as some requirements for this version have been drawn up.  2.x development shall be far slower looking and learning from 1.x and attempting to improve on it. 

While 2.x is under development they shall look at creating abstraction versions for other database types.  For 1.x we shall assume that SQL is natively MySQL in bias but that operations are generally of the simple kind (SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT) and therefore need little by way of translation.  This is in keeping with the Orbit42 mantra of simplicity.

Adullam's Orbit42 will be looking for experts in XML who would be willing to help develop an SQL centric XML access method.

The class is documented at http://code.orbit42.com where the page is generated using an early PoC CMS built on Orbit42-Base class.  This documentation is updated whenever necessary and details the basics of each function and global variable in the class.

It remains now only to create some example classes that build on the Orbit42-Base class.
