i have been using the pear db for a long time , although , portability =slower abstraction , aparantly the DB is not continuing, and MDB is its predecessor, anyway i've had a bit of trouble getting the MDB to work , in fact i got DB to work pretty much straight away thanks to thoms howto page, MDB is a bit of a rewrite obviously to make it faster than DB therefore if u are intergrating abstraction code from DB to MDB is a bit of a pain i'm still trying to get the right answer out of luke on how to get rows out in a while loop, not as easy as i thought. i have written my own abstraction class , not as hard as u think , but work needed fast access , and we only use mysql so i made it as light as possible with error handling included check it out :D
