Databases

Drake CMS uses adoDB lite as the database abstraction layer; adoDB lite supports a wide range of databases but in order to keep the official Drake CMS package as small as possible some of them are distributed separately.

Additional adoDB lite drivers

You can get the additional database drivers directly from the adoDB lite package (manually copying the required files in the correct folder) or from the add-ons package of Drake.

Enabling a database system

Some database systems are not enabled by default on PHP. Drake CMS will report a red item for them in the installation stage or in the configuration panel; if you want to enable them, search the PHP manual for the proper extension and discover how to install and configure it.
