Talk:DB layer 2.0

Various Notes (before 20080501)

• AdoDB, AdoDB over PDO, PDO. (my initial +1 to continue using underlying ADOdb).
• Placeholder types: :named or ? (will require PHP parsing under some DBs).
• Multiple connections supported (auto-contained DB object).
• PERF debugging available.
• Logging available (to detect wrong uses).

• Total breakage (all contrib uses)
• Total breakage (current dmllib 1.0 functions definition).
• Development mode (branch with radical replacement, some compatibility layer to minimize breakage - current dmllib instantiating new dmllib + stripping slashes ?)

• Mahara experience. ( it's also worthwhile to note that a long long time ago I also did this for elgg which involved doing the addslashes/stripslashes audit through the code base - we didn't have to do this with mahara as we had placeholders and no slashes right from the start - Penny )
• Interface example.
• dmllib 2.0 tests since the beginning.
• dmllib 2.0 documentation since the beginning.
• Classes implementation order (PG, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle).

• More ideas.

• Next meeting. TODO: document MMM20080501, AdoDb/PDO decision, Interface + PHP documentation + Docs documentation, define tests to perform.
