Now that is that sort of feedback I was not expecting ... I don't use MySQL so to see that it has some inherent problems with PDO as most of the other databases is news. I think PDO is probably now too embedded in some projects to roll back but certainly it's limitations need to be better documented? Some of it's restrictions can not be solved by changes to the code, they are incompatible with the base format, but there is nothing explaining that. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
