Hi Don, PDO is certainly planned for Drizzle, we've just not had time to work on it yet, and no one else has stepped up. I've not looked into it too much yet, and whether this is something that should be done entirely in PHP (based on the Drizzle PHP extension), or if it should dip deeper and be part of the extension.
I'd be excited to see progress on this and am willing to help you work on it if this is something you would like to contribute. :) -Eric On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 01:34:56PM -0800, Don MacAskill wrote: > > I know I've asked a few people about this in person, but thought I'd > take it to the list and see what's up. > > We're very excited about Drizzle, but we use PHP's PDO.
