But I wonder if XML databases are really _that_ different from RDBMS in terms of handling/querying data that there is no possibility to just make a driver class for DB or MDB. LDAP is a good example for a non-RDBMS driver class where it makes perfect sense to use the already familiar PEAR::DB API to query the directory server. I have no experience at all with XML databases, but I wonder if they don´t work like others, e.g.: - Connect to server - Make a query (in whatever language/format) - Retrieve result object - Iterate through results, extracting arrays for each dataset - Free result - Close connection If XML databases work like that as well, I´d rather like to see this as a new DB/MDB driver.
