(Hans) > Isn't much of what you describe already in DB_storage? sorry for this late response but i had a webmail crah :-( I did'nt know DB_storage (I think it's surprising to put it with mysql and pgsql... backends). But you are right : the main idea is the same. Yet, there are differences. I think that DB_Object is more easy to use, particulary if you want to load several objects of the same class (DB_Object::multipleLoad()). Moreover, with DB_storage, you have to use its set() method to change the value of an object property... Maybe DB_Object is more flexible ??? But, with DB_storage it's better encapsulated. But, if the main idea is the same, i think that's the two ways don't exclude themselves. Yet, as i am not a 'PHP GURU', I will repect any opposite opinion.
