I really dislike db abstraction layers and PEAR::DB being one of the 
worst of all ;p

Just look at the ugly code like the LIMIT emulation for DBMS that don't 
support it native. If you want to use the limited feature set provided 
by PEAR::DB there is little point in using PostgreSQL at all. Just pick 
a stupid storage engine like MySQL or SQLite and go on ;)

Try PEAR DB.
http://pear.php.net/package/DB

It's a database abstraction layer, which means that you can change DB 
later, with less hasle.

Have a look at how phpPgAdmin works.  Download the source and have a 
look.
