Different database servers are still SQL (well, mostly :/ ); I'm hard pressed to think of a similar example where you'd want the same logic/code and just switch in a different driver, on a general level. I can think of plenty of application-specific reasons for doing so - preferences storage, etc - but those, IMHO, don't belong in PEAR. Maybe people _do_ want these wrappers. And that's fine, and if they're made, yes, they should go into Net/. I'm just not convinced yet of their worth. -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <chuck@horde.org> Entropy. It's what's for dinner.
