Sounds like a bit of userland overhead, no? :) >Question: Is there already a similar class in PEAR which I can use. The DB package already comes with DB/Storage.php which implements something similar for manipulating databases. But no, something like you are developing is not part of PEAR right now. >If >not: would it make sense that I write my class in PEAR standards and >submit it to the community? I don't think that I would use it, since IMO this may add even more overhead than PEAR DB already adds, since database functions are wrapped twice in your model (native DBMS -> PEAR::DB -> your package). But I can think of a lot of people that would be happy to have something like this => no problem with submitting it so far. - Martin
