For that we shouldn't do just random small changes but take a look at the whole picture (PDO2?) Most of the things need new hooks or change PDO APIs in a breaking way so they can't be done in 5.3, so maybe the time till 6.0 can be used to really identify and collect the issues and then either refactor or recreate it depending on the results. There was a group once working on these things which ended in political/legal/... discussions maybe the effort can be revived now, two years later. What I see is that many people would like having a proper abstraction layer (what ever is to be abstracted) and PDO has too many rough edges. johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
