RE: [PEAR-DEV] LDAP DB class

Well I must admit I know more about Metabase than about PEAR DB. There is an effort to mere the two projects (which you can read up on in the archive in case you are interested) I was planning on writing an LDAP DB abstraction for Metabase (or the merged version). But I currently do not even have a running LDAP server here at work nor do I the time to dive into LDAP. So I will ask a few more general question: My Goal was to write an layer that would allow me to very simply switch between an LDAP and an RDBMS to store my userdata. I did not want to have do change any of my code that would sit on top of this layer. From you implementation from simpleQuery() I see that you are definitely changing the interface ... could this not also be hidden underneath the layer? I guess this would mean actually working off of an SQL query and parsing that to extract the parameters you need (like action etc) => leads to overhead The question is obviously if this is even feasible. I was not sure of this myself so alternatively I was thinking of writing a class that would handle my user manipulations and that would build the "queries" as SQL queries or as LDAP queries. What do you think?
