note 56307 rejected from ref.pdo by dbs

Note Submitter: taylorbarstow ---- thebox: I didn't mean to say that I didn't think this was a step in the right direction. Some database abstraction layer should absolutely be included in PHP's core offering. However, why not take it a step further and get rid of the SQL statements all together? This would povide true data-layer abstraction, allowing developers to code with a focus on the data, not on the technology used to manipulate the data (e.g., SQL). I'm thinking of something like PEAR::DB_DataObject. Also see the link that I posted below. But of course, I must say, thanks to all PHP developers for their hard work. This is not a complaint, just a suggestion (and perhaps a reason for me to get involved).
