It seems like there is a lot of overlap between the DB and MDB libraries, is there a recomended one to use. Is there a transition taking place or is one an extension of the other. Is one more active then the other.
1) DB has more drivers. 2) Also alot of packages build ontop of DB. 3) However MDB provides a superset of the functionality provided by DB and is as fast or faster than DB (however alot of this isnt documented). 4) MDB2 is even faster, has a cleaner API and catches up a bit in the driver department 5) MDB2 is beta only due to API optmiztions still going on Check here for some further details: http://oss.backendmedia.com/index.php?area=MDB2&page=FaQ regards, Lukas
