PDO is being pushed as a DB Abstraction library, but it only 'abstracts' the calls to PHP, it does nothing to abstract the SQL if you want a truly generic solution, if you need one, but if you don't then why bother with abstraction ;)

So I was just correcting those messages. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://home.lsces.co.uk/ModelEngineersDigitalWorkshop/ Treasurer - Firebird Foundation Inc. - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
