Hi, I'm writing here to take a point about the discussion. On one side, you want to turn this functionality to a global function, like it is describe into this patch and on the other side, you said that on MySQL and Oracle we can get this notices with queries so it is not needed for them but only for PostgreSQL. Before continuing every development I want to make like a survey about what I (or we) will do. Here are my proposals: 1. Make this functionality only for PostgreSQL, with a "pgGetNotices" function. 2. Continue development for MySQL & Oracle, with the known that if notices recuperation is enabled, PDO will have to do queries. 3. Let development at this stage waiting that somebody else propose a notices patch for other Database than PostgreSQL. Note: For MySQL there'is the mysql_info function (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-info.html)

well .. what Pierre (and me supporting him) was asking for is to create an RFC page that details the actual sticking points with this feature so that they can then discuss the above points more if need be .. or we can take a vote on how to proceed. You are asking the general community to vote on something where there is no clear document describing the state of the discussion. Remember not everybody reads all messages and even I am likely to have forgotten a point raised in this thread by now .. and I have payed attention to this thread from the very beginning. Writing an RFC is not about making your life miserable .. and its not about stalling your request either. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
