Jim and I had a short discussion a few years back about a potential new DB API. However, can you clarify exactly *which* DB API you are talking about? Is this the driver API, or the user-exposed API? What do you think will be needed to be changed in the database drivers themselves? The comments I remember seeing you make were mostly the user-exposed API portions, but I would kindof like to know, since I will need to rewrite/modify nspostgres accordingly. As to the user-exposed API, I really think the low-level OpenACS API (not the .xql stuff, but the level below that) is a pretty good model. But that's one of those 'everyone has a different opinion' items.... :-) One of the items on my wishlist is a callback into the driver if the connection is dropped on the HTTP side, so that I can abort an in-process transaction or statement. I have an open bug on this topic; however, I have not found a way from within the driver to address this issue. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
