Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PDO questions
From: alan@akbkhome.com (Alan Knowles)

At present it is nearly possible to write extensions that bypass the PDO
php api, and talk directly to the drivers via the PDO Api

- it helps alot that the backends where designed not to return zval's
much (meta is a rather messy exception, that hopefully may get looked at
after 5.1 I guess). 

I think Wez, pretty correctly doesnt want to go too far with datatype
abstraction in PDO, I've got some way with making DBDO use PDO as a
backend, and it has a far more comprehensive datatype abstraction. (as
that is one of it's primary focuses.)
But the fact that meta is returning zval's is a bit of a pain, that I've
been putting off dealing with it this week.
