PHP has long suffered from poor implementations of some of the DB extensions and good implementations of others. PDO is a good opportunity to unify the extensions and have a common code base so that bug fixes
Excuse my ignorance, maybe I missed the answer to Lester's question: What's the proposed way of accessing the DB-specific functionality once PDO is there? Is everything available through SQL statements or get/srcAttribute? After a first look at the MySQL functions my guess is that that's the case. At least I can't see anything I need which I couldn't reach that way.
Please enlighten me, - Chris
