DB Exceptions - Sample Code

I took the latest PEAR DB code and tweaked it to run under PHP5 E_STRICT. I also tweaked PEAR.php as well. I then added the ability to set an "error mode" which causes DB to throw exceptions instead of returning errors. The application can chose between using error objects or exceptions. I then added a couple of very simple test files which show some of the differences between the modes. The code is available from: http://www.cerad.org/pear/pear5a.tgz I think having some running code to look at might help in this debate. IMHO, allowing the application to chose how unusual conditions are dealt with might be the way to go.
