Alan Knowles (http://pear.php.net/user/alan_k) has commented on the proposal for Database::DB_Table. Comment: Need to fix this. only supports INT and STR types, - now supports DATE, DATETIME, TIME, MYSQLTIMESTAMP - FLOATS are on the todo list. not easy to get started with, maybe :) it auto-generates classes. - This is optional now. It uses the class to generate a .ini file, not the other way around. - Now 'can' read database structure on the fly. The basic philosical difference (at present.) is that dataobjects reads from the database structure, as defined in the database. Where as db_table creates the database structure from the data within the class. This has advantages = easy installing etc. and disadvantages = more difficult to accomodate changes in database structure after project starts..
