You can already assume that the > database interface exists. I agree that in the long term we can assume this, however, in the shorter term if I were to release an app that used PEAR's db abstraction I would probably try to bundle the classes with it to ensure that they could use it out of the box. I am still interested in knowing what a minimal PEAR:DB abstraction layer for mysql would consist of. I can find out myself but I though someone here would have a quick answer. Regards, Paul Meagher
