[dev] Fwd: [PEAR-DEV] database abstraction layers in PEAR

Interested, yes. But buried with too much work on our own code and 
project, personally.

> Hi,

> I have gotten little feedback on my blog post regarding the MDB2 API in
> relation to the PDO API. However all feedback I got was along the
> lines: go with the PDO API. So that is what I will do. As such the MDB2
> API will become much more different than originally anticipated in
> relation to the PEAR DB API. So it goes. I know alot of people have
> invested alot of code on the PEAR DB API but its quite clear that the
> PDO API is where the future is at.
>
> The next steps for me are as follows:
> - split drivers into separate packages
> - make a final MDB release (there are a number of bug fixes in CVS)
> - work on the remaining MDB2 - PDO incompatibilities .. the biggest
> piece of work remains the merging of the statement and result class
> - write a PDO based core driver, that specific PDO drivers can be based on
>
> Again the goals behind MDB2:
> - provide true SQL abstraction (PDO does not have this goal)
> - offer a PDO like API for PHP4 users
> - make it easy for PHP users to migrate from/to MDB2/PDO
> - provide a framework for custom database related code
>
> I would really appreciate it if people would help here. Its quite a
> huge task. The bulk of the work is done, but it took over 2 years to
> get this far. So anyone willing to be a co-lead for a driver please
> step up! Anyone interested in helping with the core of MDB2 are also
> welcome.
