So is it intended to replace those modules, thus moving such functionality down a level into the C (or whatever) modules for better speed? Or am I misunderstanding its role and relationship to DB/MDB? Perhaps one of the devs can explain how these parts are all expected to fit together.I don't believe PDO is meant to replace DB and its certainly not meant to replace MDB, since MDB does datatype abstraction and its already been said, I believe, that PDO will not do datatype abstractions.
