PDO driver not working

[Dodinz Ballecer]

Hello,

I tried to use the PDO driver for my 2nd database connection by setting this code to my model class:

$option['driver'] = 'pdo'; // Database driver name
$option['dsn'] = 'DSNname';

$option['host'] = 'xx.xx.xx.xx'; // Database host name
$option['port'] = '1433'; // Database host name
$option['user'] = 'sa'; // User for database authentication
$option['password'] = '$$$$$$$$$'; // Password for database authentication
$option['database'] = 'myDB'; // Database name
$option['prefix'] = ''; // Database prefix (may be empty)

$db = JDatabase::getInstance( $option );
parent::setDbo($db);

But prompted me an error : Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class JDatabaseDriverPdo

Just wanted to ask if this driver is still on the development progress?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi Dodinz,

While there is a PDO Driver class, it is abstract as you noted in your error message so it's actually meant to be extended so that a specific PDO Driver class is available for the database type you want to use.

For example, the Oracle driver builds on top of the PDO class and for the $option['driver'] line you would type the following instead:

$option['driver'] = 'oracle';

Which type of database are you wanting to connect to?
