True, but a DB wrapper can do the error reporting as well.

I'm working on a new site, and I'm wondering whether to use an

reason not to, but are there any down sides? Which abstraction layers
are good?

ADOdb is a good one. PEAR also has an abstraction class. Once you get
used to using them, they make things easier over all. I've never
actually switched databases with them, so I don't know how much easier
it makes that. I find them ideal for error catching and reporting.
