I have had a look at PDO, but for many of us it is just a step BACK to 
the bad old days.
ADOdb is well established and works. If you use the accelerator module 
then it can be very fast. WHY couldn't John have been helped to convert 
it to a more integrated package when he tried to get help from this 
list, which would allow upgrades to MANY systems without major 
re-writing of their code bases?
OK many base functions will do the same job, but there is several years 
of development in the extensions to ADOdb, all of which would need to be 
re-done to switch to PDO - which is only recreating some of the 
functionality of the ADOdb drivers.
