pdo_pgsql-Improvements

Hello, over the last few days I have been playing with pdo_pgsql a bit in order to make some wishes I've always had finally come true. So far, I've added 1) support for automatically parsing JSON result column (if the json extension is enabled) 2) support for automatically parsing array columns 3) support for turning timestamp and date columns into DateTime objects 4) a pgsqlQuoteIdentifier method to correctly quote table and column names (arguably, this should maybe go into PDO base) The first three features need enabling by setting PDO::PGSQL_ATTR_ADVANCED_TYPE_CONVERSIONS to true on either the PDO object or as a driver specific parameter to prepare(). Parsing the arrays feels especially important to me as the various userland solutions out here are either quite slow, unreadable or outright buggy. Arrays are a core feature of Postgres and map really well to arrays in PHP. 1 and 4 also have unit tests. Tests for 2 and 3 will be coming too. I'm writing here in order to find out whether you think that improving the pdo_pgsql driver is something you would think makes sense for you, in which case I will write an official RFC. My work so far is on https://github.com/pilif/php-src/commits/pdo_pgsql-improvements Stuff I still would also want to add is 1) support for DateTimeInterface bound parameters 2) support for Array as bound parameters (maybe - not sure if doable) 3) support for the new features of PGResult (9.3 and later) that expose information of what columns have failed a unique key constraint, for example. 4) Unit tests for everything, of course So, asking again: Do you guys think, this is worth writing an RFC for? Thank you in advance Philip
