[phpesp-dev] Notes on PEAR

[Stefan C. <sch...@ea...>]

I use PHP 4.3.3 and the PEAR DB lib that comes along.

I've noticed a few very annoying things when it comes down to moving to 
another DB :

- DB doesn't support sequences (it is said it emualtes them, but it's seems to 
be not implemented)
- DB doesn't support "num_rows" and alike for ODBC (although the API is there)

So my idea is that pear doesn't help very much on the portability issues : 
code has to be rewritten anyway.
