Oh ya, one more thing, I am going to integrate SQL Relay with the PHP abstraction layer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlalphp to give the functions a more PHP feel to them. Plus, I will be able to retain DB specific calls if I want with this layer. I have used this layer with a great deal of success in the past. But it was never the DB calls that got me, it was the actually SQL. So I am building a swappable SQL library. The Propel solution would effectively negate me having to do that. - Paul -----Original Message----- From: Muhammed Mamedov [mailto:mmamedov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 3:41 AM To: phpdb Subject: Re: Database Abstraction Layer?
