FreeTDS have an odbc wrapper, which means that it will work with ext/odbc and pdo_odbc aswell, the migration is rather simple here and i think it will be beneficial for both us and the users. As for mysql, I know libmysql is maintained, which is fine and all, but I think its time to deprecate it and consider removing it in favour of mysqli which we have been trying to promote. Like johannes said, a wrapper could be written in either native php, or in C level and im willing to help out with that, if thats the way we need to do it. Tutorials and articles that builds on mysql is unfortunate when we want to prommote mysqli, but if we want to change it, i think now is better than never, because people will continue to write articles about it if its still exists within the main distro. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
