Re: Re: Suggestion about native DB support.

I agree that you can't bundle everything that might be useful, I just thought that an official native form of DB support may be useful for webmasters and developers, webmasters won't need to install MySQL, Postgress, DBM and all the possible storage solutions for PHP and developers won't have to code 5 different options for an application that uses a simple key-value storage. May be the advantages outweight the "bundling" disadvantages... ----- Original Message ----- From: <derick@php.net> To: Jedi/Sector One <j@pureftpd.org> Cc: Garland foster <garland_foster@salutia.com>; Yasuo Ohgaki <yohgaki@ohgaki.net>; PHP Developers Mailing List <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 10:58 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Suggestion about native DB support. > On Fri, 21 Jun 2002, Jedi/Sector One wrote: > > > On Fri, Jun 21, 2002 at 10:37:15AM -0300, Garland foster wrote: > > > What about the native DBM support?
