Add functions to abstract SQL syntax and function differences between MySQL and SQLite

  • utc_dt()
  • date_sub(int $value, string $interval)
  • binary()
  • collate()
  • limit()

These functions reside in the Dbal class mainly because the DbPDO class serves SQLite as well MySQL.

3.3. Folders

new folder

  • file/data - .htaccess protected folder for SQLite database file.

It is strongly recommended to place the database file outside the webroot for security, but if you must place it within the webroot, use a filename like file/data/.ht.sqlite to help prevent direct access via the web server.
