True, but a DB wrapper can do the error reporting as well.

I don't have any plans to switch DB system, but you never know what the future holds. I figure that there's no reason not to, but are there any down sides? Which abstraction layers are good?ADOdb is a good one. PEAR also has an abstraction class. Once you get used to using them, they make things easier over all. I've never actually switched databases with them, so I don't know how much easier it makes that. I find them ideal for error catching and reporting. ---John Holmes...
