It's surprising to hear that the new version won't use a driver approach. Then I could use DB, MDB, PDO, or another, or even roll my own. The author should consider how to structure the code to achieve this architecture. Especially since it is php5, which supports those types of oop patterns better than php4.

Let me clarify my statements. All I have said is how I want the code structured compared to how the code is structured at the moment. Since DB lacks datatype abstraction Alan had to add this into DB_DataObject. This IMHO led to issues in the design. I prefer having the datatype (and some other abstraction aspects) inside the DBAL and not inside the ORM. I was not commenting on code for DB_DataObject2 that I have not seen yet. regards, Lukas
