Re: [PDO] PDO version 1 improvements

The course of PDO is not clear to me. PDO should not call itself a data access abstraction layer if it aims to be more than that. Support for named parameters is part of a SQL abstraction layer. Its strange for me to see that a convenience feature like named parameters is a must and a - in my eyes - basic and more important feature like lastInsertId() gets ignored.

From the PHP manual: "PDO provides a data-access abstraction layer, which means that, regardless of which database you're using, you use the same functions to issue queries and fetch data. PDO does not provide a database abstraction; it doesn't rewrite SQL or emulate missing features. You should use a full-blown abstraction layer if you need that facility.", http://de.php.net/manual/en/intro.pdo.php Aha - and why does it have a parser for emulating prepared statements? Ulf
