MDB2 has separate drivers packages, and AFAIK it supersedes DB. However, the situation of Structures_DataGrid is different from DB and MDB2. We do not see a major RDBM platform every morning, while there are dozens of possible new drivers for SDG (you'll see a few by browsing the feature requests). In the current situation we are forced to refuse new drivers submitted by users, otherwise Structures_DataGrid will never get stable. But if we split drivers apart, then we can stabilize Structures_DataGrid's core and main drivers such as DataSource_MDB2, DataSource_DataObject, Renderer_HTMLTable, etc... Meanwhile there can be new alpha/beta drivers. This way we don't have to choose between new features and stability. We can have both. Do you see my point ? -- ogWarning: we are about to register 17 new packages. Is it ok ? What about the naming ?If my voice counts, I'm against it. PEAR_DB has the drivers included, too - and I'm really happy with that.
