Hi, I think it would be great to highlight _all_ differences and show the simple usage of MDB2 as most of the users probably are not aware how MDB works.

Ok as I have said MDB2 can do everything DB can (if I missed a feature let me know .. shouldnt be a problem since after all its all opensource)

The list of stuff about MDB2 is fine from a marketing and awareness point of view, but what would really be useful (especially if an MDB2 "take-over" is pre-ordained) is a transition document for developers. Actually show the different usage; e.g., "Where you used to call $db->getAll($query), you need to do this instead: ..." It would be a good piece of change management, but yes, it would be a lot of work. :-( -- Paul M. Jones Savant: the simple alternative to Smarty. http://phpsavant.com/
