The existing helpers are not CDBI-compatible, though. If someone wants to make a CDBICompat layer, I think it should be a subclass of RDBO, not a set of helpers. Also, I'm wary of adding "partial" compatibility through helpers because once the "c" word enters the mind of the user, 100% compatibility is inevitably expected. -John ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
