Just by curiosity:

- I see there's a support for PDO. No one for MDB2 because of the 5.2.3+ requirement?

Doctrine actually has its own DBAL, which is a PDO based fork of MDB2. There are also adapters to work with the old non PDO native drivers.

- What's in 5.2.3 that makes it so necessary for Doctrine to work?

There are some bugs in PHP5's object handling that causes segfaults on lower versions.

I am converted. I cannot use it in all my projects however, since Doctrine requires 5.2.3 and many of my clients are stuck on RHEL's 5.1.6 version.

Ooops, I had not seen you were among the Doctrine team. :) So, knowing that now, yes, I can imagine that you are a converted!

I do not develop much over there. I just came to it because the original authors asked me a lot of questions about how MDB2 works when he was developing the MDB2 DBAL. As a result my name is in a lot of files that I have never touched directly. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
