Re: MDB Questions - switching to MDB, failover and so on...

I'm waiting to see how DataObjects2 looks , starting from a base of PDO, then adding MDB2 features on seems like a more efficient way, - get it working first, get it working really well second... Apart from the sequence key abstraction, the core stuff of dataobjects, only needs PDO, the generator however will probably benefit more from MDB2.
