RE: [PEAR-DEV] one abstraction layer (my proposal for)

> Goals > ===== > 1) User selects mode: speed or portability (default) > > 2) Speed: > 2.1) Non critical features are included by demand I would want this for the "portability" mode as well. [..] > 4.3) Secuencial & Non Secuencial Row Fetching just a question: whats the purpose of non sequencial row fetching? Aside from legacy support is there really a need for this? Most people on this list said the don't use it. This is important to figure out for what is core and what should be loaded on demand. > 4.8) Datatype conversion functions > 4.9) Data quoting (manual & automatic) What exactly do you mean by data quoting? Generally quotes and such should be done by the datatype converter. I generally like quotes around my integers but not alls DB's support this. Actually I only know that postgresql and mysql do it. > 4.13) Results cache (as a side note: I would want any thing that serializes to be cluster capable. I am also currently working on data containers where I can throw parameters into the db to be used later. Like when I have a preview etc. Nothing special but I need this for files and passwords that you don't want/cant place in a hidden field) > 4.14) SQL language builder/helper/parser (?) What do you mean by this? A query object that could be build one by one? > 4.15) Database Manager (create/drop of databases, tables, sequences, > ...) indexes ...

I hope the tone of this list is not always like it has been since I signed up on Wednesday (and I will install a filter for those duplicate emails *g*). > - I'll ignore flames or statement out of pure technical (please keep > them in good ... > - 80% usable in two-three months > ouch, then again your suggestions do increase the scope quite a bit.
