I just stumbled across ADOdb. Is this database abstraction library still active? Have things like PDO or PEAR DB made it obsolete?
As others have stated, it's current... and it's awesome! I'm pretty sure it's faster than PDO for mysql. I recommend additionally installing the extension for it which replaces parts of the php code with c and provides a major speed up to certain methods. Also, if you're serious about portable SQL statements, there's a good guide linked from the documentation that tells you which abstracted functions to use for certain SQL commands that differ across databases.
