I don't think that DB_DataObject will create a nicce SQL. I think it's better to write it yourself (you know when you have large data sets its better to handle the work youurself)... But your comments on that PEAR::DB is a good package and that many others depend on it makes it the favorite one, I am right?.. And one more question : A guy from this list told that MDB supports XML files (can create db from an XML file and ...) . What do you all think about it?
