Re: [Web-meetme-devel] FW: PEAR::DB

With only an afternoon of reading up on both PEAR::DB and ADODB, I=20
must say I see alot to like about ADODB.  It's not all great though.

On my systems (FC3 and RHES4), PEAR::DB is already installed, but
ADODB is not.  We could bundle ADODB with Web-MeetMe, but it is just
as large as our code, and some systems are likely to have it already.
It could be listed as an external requirement, but I hate to offer
an incomplete package.

On the positive side, I do know of a few potentially larger=20
installations of Web-MeetMe, and they might benefit from the=20
flexibility to more to a commercial DB.  I also like the fact that
LDAP is a supported 'DB', possibly allowing us to retire adLDAP.

In any case I think this will be a 3.0 issue.  I need to read up
some more on SVN and see how to split off the current code into a
2.X branch and open a new trunk for 3.X

Adodb is faster and more portable, but for a project like this I really
don't think it matters. I just don't see this app needing to do enough
complex SQL calls to really make a difference one way or another.

Portability is really the main advantage of adodb; if you want to
develop a project under MySQL or Postgres but have the option of moving
to Oracle or IBM/DB2 later on. But because this project will probably
never run on anything other than MySQL or Postgres, I really don't see a
reason to port it to ado.

About two montsh back we discussed using ADODB in place of the current
abstraction layer.  I've finally had a chance to look at the DB work
Mike has done, and at least the last code he sent me is using PEAR::DB

Looking into the background of this abstraction layer, I think it is an
excellent choice and lends itself to a major clean-up of the scheduling
code.

So do we want to keep PEAR::DB, or should I look further into ADODB?
