The original intention of PDO was that it did not matter just what underlying database you were using, anything written for one would simply work with any other. All of the driver specific extensions make a mockery of that, and in many cases today PDO will only work with the database it was programmed for ... so why use PDO at all in that instance? For example a BLOB improvement to PDO should work transparently across all databases that support blobs ... and error when blobs are not available. -- 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
