Whats the difference in these packages? Do they server different purposes? Is one 'better' or planned to superceed the other?
Well...it was AFAIK the plan to make MDB2 DB2 once it's stable, but I don't know if that will happen..
This is no longer the plan. Essentially Daniel and I discussed last fall that we will try to push MDB2 to a stable release for 2005. DB2 will likely come in 2006 and be a PHP5 only version which will be heavily realiant on PDO. However I am probably not going to work on this, because as a PHP5 only package it will have to use exceptions, which I personally am unwilling to use in PHP libraries. regards, Lukas
