FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package database
Gabbro - Database Library
The Gabbro Database Library provides a lightweight, consistent abstraction layer over SQL databases.
It is designed to expose a common set of interfaces (Connection, Statement, Cursor) that can be reused across multiple database backends, while still giving developers access to features like typed placeholders and prepared statements.
Key Concepts
-
Connection
Represents an open database connection.
Provides methods toexecute()statements,query()to return results, andprepare()to create reusable prepared statements. -
Statement
A precompiled SQL statement created viaConnection::prepare().
Statements can be executed or queried to return aCursor. - Cursor
Provides iteration over a result set.
Offers row navigation (moveTo(),moveToNext()), metadata (getCount(),getColumnCount()), and column value retrieval (getColumn()).
Placeholders
Queries use custom placeholders similar to sprintf() but adapted for SQL:
%s→ string%i→ integer%f→ float%b→ blob
The library parses placeholders, replaces them with database-specific markers (e.g. ? for SQLite), and binds values in a safe, type-aware way.
Current Implementation
- SQLite3 backend is included (
gabbro\\database\\sqlite3\\Connection).
Uses in-memory or file-based SQLite databases and fully supports the interfaces.
Goals
- Provide a unified API across different SQL backends.
- Ensure safe handling of placeholders and type conversions.
- Keep the design minimal, without hiding the underlying database’s capabilities.
