I see it as a "lightweight" abstraction > layer, fast, KISS and not fat. No we are not. PHPLIB is not an abstraction layer for all I know. Its probably faster as PEAR::DB for the same reasons as stated in the link Tomas's message to the ml I pasted earlier in this thread. Anyways I really don’t see a need for more than 2 packages here. 1) to handle differences in the ext API's 2) one that also handles differences in the SQL Anything beyond that is bloating PEAR imho. Also having a version with phplib's API is not what we need in PEAR. A wrapper is all that would make sense to provide there (which will probably eat 10-20% performance I would say). Regards, Lukas
