Isaac Tewolde (http://pear.php.net/user/tewolde) has commented on the proposal for Database::table_browser. Comment: Excellent suggestions, there is no reason to depend solely on mysql. I think MDB2 is a very natural next step for this. I also like the idea of bringing in a database connection. Both of these are not difficult to implement, the actual mysql calls are contained in a few methods that can be re-implemented to use MDB2. Comparing with DB_table, there are differences both in implementation and the goal. This library is closer to the active record model. Another difference is that this library is further removed from the bare sql compared with DB_Table. The idea behind this library is the "browser" model where one can sequentially step through and explore the data. It grew beyond this of course, but I would like to keep the interface simple and easy to use. Thanks, Isaac.
