MDB != access file format :-) MDB is merge of PEAR DB and Metabase. For more information: http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?package=MDB There is already a PEAR DB wrapper for MDB. Of course a modified version of DB_NestedSet would be a separate package as a container approach is probably not feasible. The same thing was done with DB_QueryTool. Regards, Lukas
