Well, that would defeat the purpose of loading as little code as possible, because to give the user the choice would not only force you to load that code, but force you to parse what they want, which would slow things down. > So yes the point is to load as few code as possible.

Actually, what might be possible would be to create a script that creates "custom" versions of PEAR::DB -- ie, it *always* includes certain functions, like query(), but it also gives you the option to "add" functionality. It would create a file and print out the code for that version of PEAR::DB into the file, and you could create your custom version with exactly what you need and not what you don't... and if you ever need to add something, you can run the script again and create a new "custom abstraction layer"... --Jason
