I think that is a very important point: IMO lot's of people don't expect PEAR DB to be a complete database independent system, but they use it because it works damn smart, has great error handling and makes querying databases very easy. (I think Stig also stated this some ago.) So lot's of people are afraid that PEAR DB will be a different thing after the merge, that it will not be this smart to use etc. - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
