A quick tour of the features

Propeller has some nice features you should know about:

• It's a fast and easy way to manage your database;
• It provides command line tools for generating code (well documented with an IDE-friendly syntax);
• It's very flexible: you can simply extend any Propeller model;
• It uses PDO (PHP Data Objects) so it allows you to use the RDBMS of your choice (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle and MSSQL are supported);
