I didn't say that Metabase should not > be PEARified. You did not seem to agree to have only one database abstraction package in PEAR either. One point that I need to make clear is that I definetely did not make that proposal because I developed Metabase, but rather because PHP can only benefit from having only one officially advertised database abstraction package like Java for JDBC. So, please don't understand it as if you don't want to make me feel bad if Manuel Lemos Metabase is rejected from being integrated PEAR. I see no point in accepting Metabase just to please me and in the end we still have more than one officially advertised database abstraction packages. If you don't agree with having just one database abstraction package for developing truely portable applications using Metabase code as start base, just say it. Not saying yes is not a problem for me, but not saying a definite no is not helping either because you are stalling people like Lukas that are willing to invest a lot of time on the effort but they only want to do it if it is going to be accepted. So what will it be: yes or no? Regards, Manuel Lemos
