That way, one could use it with or without PDO. If I look at your code, it really is based on PDO. I am +1 on having a PDO driver DBAL in PEAR2, however, I think we need to support native dbs as well. Hmm, perhaps that should be two packages. 1. DBAL 2. PHPORM which plugs in the DBAL you made. That way, they are ... independant each another and people that want to use the DBAL only, will get the DBAL only :-) Bertrand, not an iphone but from a phone indeed :P -- David Coallier, Founder & Software Architect, Agora Production (http://agoraproduction.com) 51.42.06.70.18
