Re: die vs exception

The DB and MDB2 packages in the PEAR library use a third option, which is to return an "Error" subclass as the result rather than "throw"ing it. Prons and cons for all, just wanted to throw in this option too. Btw, both the DB and MDB2 packages are already generic classes that support mssql as well as other DBMS programs, so if you're not familiar you may want to look up the details at http://pear.php.net.
