PEAR::DB with Informix

Hi Folks, I'm porting a large PHP application that I wrote, to use PEAR::DB with Informix (IDS 7.31). Until now I was using a DB interface object that I had wrote. Anyway I've found some strange behaviour that's making my port a little annoying. Just to mention... I use a lot of BLOBs on my tables (TEXT) and I need a way to insert (or update) it's contents, so in my object I wrote a method called updateBlob, but there is no mention of such a thing on PEAR::DB. I know that PostgreSQL also has to use a separate set of commands to update BLOBs (large objects)... So I was thinking about inserting a standard method on DB::common and customize it on ifx and pgsql to do the proper actions for them (I already did it on ifx). What do you think?
