RedBeanPHP

RedBeanPHP currently supports only the CUBRID, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases.

Its main advantage is that it needs no special configuration to setup, making ideal to deploy on the fly with any project.

RedBean can be used for practically any database operation, like DB creation, querying, deletion, etc..

Even if you don't opt for RedBeanPHP, using an ORM to interact with your database is an industry recommended practice, helping developers protect their applications against common security vulnerabilities.
