If they want to keep the API then a wrapper would be a better idea (however this will cost performance of course). Anyways the point is that we don’t want to add needless redundant packages and I don’t see a reason to have more than two packages that handle DB interfacing. Also keep in mind that this sort of functionality is quite complex and maintenance intensive. Especially as the DB extensions change/mature. Therefore I would rather see your energy going into writing a wrapper for PEAR DB and/or helping in improving DB/MDB. I will certainly appose yet another package in this area. Regards, Lukas
