RE: [PEAR] MDB 2.0 release and features.

Exactly, it would be a nice for an application developer that use MerlinWork to have the fields automatically formatted based on their own type. This could be done instancing the data source from a table or a custom query: $dbs =& new DB_SOURCE('dbs_id'); //custom way $dbs->set_select_query('SELECT etc..etc..'); //oo way $dbs->set_table('tab_test'); $dbs->set_fields('field1'); $dbs->add_join('blah blah'); etc... If (in normal case) we have the right type configured than we can speed up development phase. Obviously this feature can be overridden.
