The PDO will be only considered a true abstraction layer when it fixes a couple of very painful issues it has.
One good example is retrieving more than a single BLOB column from an Oracle database table.. it crashes PHP and most of the times, Apache. Patch was already submitted to Chris, but it's far from complete and until now there's no viable solution to be merged into PHP. Lukas took lots of feedback from community and summarize them into a possible PDO v2. Here is the direct link to it: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/pdov1 Doctrine 1 uses a fork of PEAR MDB2, but Doctrine 2 is an entirely new approach. We follow the JPAv2 specs, something that Hibernate and EclipseLink also folllows.
