First of all: I totally agree. I see the benefit, I see the big thing in having OOP based ORM's - and I do know the lack of it. So I have a bit mixed feelings about that. That does not mean that I am right or does I have a fixed idea on that at all. My doubts about ORM is having not that huge community like having in SQL based database layers. Maybe we might have also the lack of having limited ways of debugging. In my latest projects I used ORMs and was happy about that all, really. But in detail it was a big headache. For an simple step, what might needed some minutes in SQL, I spend one day. Based on the simple issue that the ORM does not had this element. This will definitely not a non flexible usage in my posting right now. It is just the usage that when we go for it, it must be tested carefully by the developers who are "in the code" to see early if the selected ORM can handle the need what we have. But be sure that we will test it out and will make public here the ideas coming out of the backend-developer's corner and many thanks a lot for your pdo link - we will also follow this idea. The first view sounds great! :) Robert -- -- -------------------------------------------- CARE2X - free Integ Hospital Info System https://sourceforge.net/projects/care2002/ http://www.care2x.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
