So what is returned is an > instance of (in your case) a DB_mysql object. Ahhh! I'd kept thinking what connect() returned was a db object, but it does look like it returns varying objects depending on which database you're using. Maybe I'd want to extend DB_common instead of DB_mysql, so that the methods would be inhereted by any object? Thanks, Weston
