 ====== Establishing A Connection ======
-Before interacting with data, a connection needs to be first established to the database. The parameters required to connect to the database are the same as when using a direct PHP connection. For detailed information about connections see [[v5:reference:connection:connect|connect()]]

 ===== Selecting A Driver =====
-In addition to ensuring the correct database connection driver is available in the PHP configuration, a matching ADOdb driver must be selected. As a general rule, the **Native Mode** drivers (e.g. mysqli,postgres9,oci8) are faster and have more feature than generic drivers (e.g. odbc_mssql2012, pdo_access), so if you have the choice, you should select one of those.

 ===== Including The ADOdb libraries =====
-ADOdb versions 5 and lower do not support class autoloading, so the base library must be included in all the programs that use its feature. Only the base class need be included, if extended feature is required that will be automatically included. See also the [[v5:userguide:include_guide|Include File Guide]].
