Also, will there be an complementary SQL-abstraction package for SQL-dialect differences (such as UPPER(value) vs. UCASE(value), or differences in TOP/LIMIT/OFFSET usage)?=20 I have a preliminary package ready (in php-source-code, not c) that is coupled to an OO-ish api for dbx, but is easily rewritable to a more generic version. Cheerio, Marc.
