        $this = DB_DataObject:factory('sometable');

} although quite often I would just do something simple like this.. function getClientsActive(){

        $c = __CLASS__;
        $x  = new $c;
        $x->get('id',20);
        return $x->name;

I agree, API fat is bad! I think your suggestion is good to code outside the class. I still use that. How could I reset the class from inside a method? I'm really using DB_DataObject as my model tier, so I atach some funcions to that to perform business operations, and many of that operations must have the class as it born, since any where, or propertie setted affect the query. example: function getClientsActive(){

        $this->reset();
        // do code

I think it's been suggested before. - I'm not keen to make the API any fatter than necessary.. - in this case $db = DB_DataObject:factory('sometable'); $db->.... do stuff... $db = DB_DataObject:factory('sometable'); $db->.... do stuff... works perfectly well, and is clearer to spot that $db has been totally cleaned (rather than below the reset method call is slightly easier to miss when you are reading the code...)

what about a method that reset the DataObject? like this: $db = factory.... do something.... $db->reset(); do other things... where reset() is a method that back $db to his initial state doing something like this: function reset(){

    $this->selectAdd();
    $this->selectAdd("*");
    $this->whereAdd();
    $this->orderBy();
    $this->limit();
    // and clear internal data
    $this->id = null;
    $this->name = null;
