Also I haven't seen anything to explain your earlier comment to Lester that "In particular you'll need two database connections (one with the original driver and one with PDO) in order to use the native copy* functions.".

I see my name, but not connection with the quote ... But in addition to Denis's examples of where you need two database connections, 2 phase commit across multiple databases has been part of Firebird for many years, and other databases are now copying it. This requires combining database connections in the one transaction, and is something that PDO is unable to handle at all? It's one of the items on http://wiki.php.net/internals/pdo/brainstorming?s[]=pdo ... as is the question "Is the goal to eventually replace the native extensions?" -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
