TYPO3 features a database abstraction layer (DBAL). What does this mean?

Due to the DBAL used by TYPO3, the system is limited to a maximum of 100,000 records per database table

The DBAL acts as an interface between the TYPO3 Core and the database server or engine

TYPO3 uses the PHP-based “Doctrine” DBAL to abstract the access to the concrete database

The DBAL used by TYPO3 requires a Java SDK installed on the server

The abstraction layer implements the permission concept for backend users in TYPO3

TYPO3 can connect to more than one database through the DBAL.
