i have been using the pear db for a long time , although , portability
=slower abstraction , aparantly the DB is not continuing, and MDB is its
predecessor, anyway i've had a bit of trouble getting the MDB to work , in
fact i got DB to work pretty much straight away thanks to thoms howto page,
MDB is a bit of a rewrite obviously to make it faster than DB therefore if u
are intergrating abstraction code from DB to MDB is a bit of a pain i'm
still trying to get the right answer out of luke on how to get rows out in a
while loop, not as easy as i thought. i have written my own abstraction
class , not as hard as u think , but work needed fast access , and we only
use mysql so i made it as light as possible with error handling included
check it out :D

Pear is really nice. I am very happy with it.
