Oh, don't worry. We are going to switch to a generic DBMS interface --
either PEAR's DB or the dbx functions -- quite soon. Perhaps even tonight
if I stay in and hack. I have done some rudimentary testing with the dbx
stuff and it works fine. DB is a much larger hoop to jump through.

We will gain two big things: only one database interface to support, and
multiple databases will now be supported. I'm leaning towards PEAR/DB at
the moment since it's more developed, supports more databases and PEAR
looks like the way to go right now.

I'll look into it. The shortest route is to just cvs remove schemas and
cvs add schemata. The grammar error is mine.
