Re: ezSQL

Actually it looks closer to DB_DataObject, than pear, - If this was to go in, it would be best implemented as a wrapper to pear:DB or MDB. Regards Alan Lukas Smith wrote:

What is the different to PEAR::DB or MDB?

After reading vincents article (http://www.databasejournal.com/features/php/article.php/10898_1485971) I am also not sure what the new benefits are that your package offers. It seems you were not aware of a fair number of features in PEAR DB atleast (I don't know ADOdb well enough to really tell about it). Also you seem quite obsessed with saving a few characters in your code. This is really the wrong type of "laziness". You will find that you spend more time reading your code than typing and therefore clarity will safe you more in the long run. Anyways since you seem to be aware of PEAR DB and ADOdb could you please explain the major features or design principles that you offer compared to them? Regards, Lukas
