I think the mysql driver is a good reference driver. It uses numeric error code which also makes it easier to map native error codes againts pear error codes. With some driver (such as postgres and sqlite) which natively do not return numeric error codes you have to play around with regexps to map error messages with pear error codes. -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/
