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.
