Not really, the 'native' php_sqlite is a php specific wrapper which implements the php sqlite_* interface and includes the sqlite library source. pdo_sqlite follows the same scheme, but has a different (object oriented) interface. The sqlite version it uses cannot easily be replaced. Both constructs are maintained by the packager. The only one which is easily maintainable by the administrator of the system it has to run on is pdo_sqlite_external, where the pdo wrapper is a separate library, next to the sqlite library. In this case one can use the most recent version simply by replacing the sqlite3 library. >Soong -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
