PHP has long suffered from poor implementations of some of the DB extensions and good implementations of others. PDO is a good opportunity to unify the extensions and have a common code base so that bug fixes

Excuse my ignorance, maybe I missed the answer to Lester's question: What's the proposed way of accessing the DB-specific functionality once PDO is there? Is everything available through SQL statements or get/srcAttribute? After a first look at the MySQL functions my guess is that that's the case. At least I can't see anything I need which I couldn't reach that way. Please enlighten me,

THAT is the nail I was missing. Firebird has a number of functions that are not managed via SQL, and require the 'services' interface. In addition, while the Transaction interface can be compressed into the straight jacket that PDO defines, it would be nice to commitRetaining, but that is something that can be addressed once the need to run the native driver as well as been removed. -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
