DBA - closing in on an initial release (fwd)

Hi Folks, The DBA class and friends located in DB_DBA are almost ready for an initial release. The classes are working well for me, and though they could always use some more documentation, I feel that there is enough included to start using the classes. What is there is a wrapper class for the dba functions built into PHP, a replacement class (DBA_Simple) that implements a DB-style database in PHP, a compatibility class that exports the dba functions on installations that do not have DBA compiled in (does dba compile into windows?). Additionally, a table class and a database manager class provide advanced functionality like selects, sorts, joins, projects, automatic table locking and more. The benefit of these classes over flat files or straight-up dba functions is a richer query system, more uniform access and DBA_Simple appears to be higher performance than flat files (it uses a linear index to access a data file, though the data file can be read without it). Cons are extra complexity (though not much more) and potential impedence mismatches moving between servers (i.e. different dba drivers might be available for use), though this can be prevented by using the simple driver. The benefit of these classes over a full-blown DBMS is that it runs completely within a webserver with no extra software to run, and it is especially useful when no DBMS is available for use, or you want to use a cheap hosting service but still have database access. Cons are that it does not support SQL, but rather simple database operations are implemented as individual functions and nested to form a query. If you know database basics, it should not be hard forming queries. May I ask for a little peer review and package-releasing magic on the pear website? Thanks. I hope that someone finds this useful besides me. - Brent
