Transactions were added already, BLOBs aren't supported by PEAR DB and atm there is no plan to add them.

I'm sorry about that. I passed a long inactive time in PEAR due work overload, now I'm back again but my time is still limited and there are a lot of things to do. In the future please send patches or suggestions to pear-dev@lists.php.net and include me in the CC if you want. Regards, -- Tomas V.V.Cox mailto:cox@idecnet.com
