Exactly. A wrapper for pear:DB that is what I > was thinking of. Well you could write a custom result object for PEAR DB. This feature was dropped from MDB for performance reasons. > BTW - 650 people have downloaded it since last Wed. so I think it > is doing something in a way that users find very useful. > > I have also had feedback that the documentation makes it very > easy to use. > > http://php.justinvincent.com > > People also seem to like the fact that it is very small > API with not too many functions. Hmm well they way you implemented it the main goals seem to be minimizing code length and easy learning curve by reducing everything to a small and compact set of methods. I think most of what you want to do can be achieved by providing an alternative result object for PEAR DB (which should be possible with PEAR DB iirc). And a small API can just be a question of documentation :-) I will look if it can be made an optional feature to get a result object instead of a result resource in MDB without too much of performance loss.
