I feel it will become very strange to use two different packages for database abstraction. IMHO either port the features of Metabase to a PEAR-like interface (_please_ keep the current get*() and fetch*() methods) or forget about it. I mean, the best way on this case is having an experimental tree of a 'new' DB package with the Metabase stuff, and work on that tree preserving the current features of PEAR::DB that people love and adding the special stuff of Metabase. Naming it another thing would be kind of weird. Or did I miss something ?
