The FBSQL driver is almost done, and when that happens Iøll start on
MSSQL/TDS.

If namesake-Georg doesn't get to it in the next 3 weeks, I'll probably
take a whack at mysql 4.x driver in the second week of November.

I will be definetly be able to write this driver within the next 3
weeks. Beside the usual "overworked" reason, it's mainly the reason,
that pdo has several lacks.

Against the common consent from LinuxTag in June (on a meeting where
most of the db maintainers participated) , Wez started the
implementation without notifying anyone.

I would be able to summarize within the next 3 weeks what is missing or
bad in pdo (and even that will need some discussion) - I will definetly
not be able to code mysqli support for a thing, in which I don't
believe.

I'm all ears.

Eh? PDO has been in CVS since May, and Marcus has had code around
since a long time before then.

Again, I'm all ears; I haven't heard anything from you until now, and
it's sad that you seem to already have a negative opinion.

Georg, I have to back Wez up over this.  I was 'around' for the LT
discussions both last year and this year, and I know exactly when PDO
reached PECL CVS.

What happened here?

I suggest that for the php conference everybody should try to make a
list of any issues they think are open in pdo. This will give us the
opportunity to talk about them. Hopefully we can integrate Wez (as well
as anyone else not physically present at php conf) somehow into our
discussions using IRC/Skype.

It would also be great if any (un)written plans for pdo could be made
available for this meeting. Wez, if possible, could you make sure that
the guys interested in documenting pdo get the heads up that it would be
a huge help if they could get something up until php conf?

Lukas

Hi Georg,

I'm surprised at your email as the main design of PDO has been clear for
sometime, although I think lacking documentation has led to it being too
hard to understand *exactly* how it works (functionality wise), especially
the DB specific functionality. (no not trying to hint about the docs again
but phpDocGen is nice :)
I read through some of the source code and it's not that easy to puzzle the
interface together from that, although Wez's PDO presentation and OTN
articles give a very good overview of it.

Anyway, I think in all fairness to the guys who worked on PDO, try and
explain your problems as soon as possible.
