Actually I stepped down from the PEAR Group a while back. But I am still
quite active in the PEAR project.
FYI: Lukas isn't on the list yet, so for now please keep him in the
To:/Cc: on any replies concerning MDB2.
One more thing on the DB/MDB2 integration .. you can actually easily
make your application self installing. You would simply need to add to
the code to expect the relevant error code and you could then execute
the installation of the tables (and in theory even database) on the fly.
Have a look at the MDB2 implementation of the nextID() method in the
mysql driver:
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/pear/MDB2/MDB2/Driver/mysql.php#625
With the following code you silence the global error handling for the
given error code:
$this->expectError(MDB2_ERROR_NOSUCHTABLE);
This however only works if you extend from the PEAR class. But there is
also a static equivalent method, more details can be found here:
http://phpmag.net/itr/online_artikel/psecom,id,330,nodeid,114.html
The important bit is simply that there is an error code you can then
check for and then issue the necessary SQL commands. Either from a file
or using the MDB2 manager API.

Lukas
