Since no one is planning to do such refactoring anytime soon, I see no reason to block any attempt to add driver-specific methods (i.e. features that only belong to a specific driver) until further notice. Whoever chooses to use them knows already their code is not portable to other drivers anyway. I have added a few PDO::pgsql* ones myself and feel no shame ;) > People have suggested changing the RFC process to require 2/3 approval > for all RFCs.

Changes should be clearly the right choice, to be > included. I agree with the 2/3 boundary, but this specific RFC follows PDO's current standards. The fact that they are suboptimal to me is out of scope. Sill, I hope that proper LOB field type support lands in PDO_sqlite as well soon after.
