Not into Oracle ;) , but it answers the main questions. PDO is not 
planned to be a replacement for ADOdb.

Until all engines can use the same SQL there is little point in a 
generic layer that means you have to re-engineer the queries when ever 
you switch engines ? Unless it is very much faster than the existing 
drivers, in which case I'd switch the Firebird ADOdb driver to use it :)
So I'm looking at a different level of the Abstraction Model.

It's bad enough catering for the differences AFTER ADOdb has taken off 
the rough spots ;)
