PHP/PDO Database Abstraction Layer

Hello,

Has anyone seen the following:

http://pecl.php.net/package/PDO

The description from the site:

PDO provides a uniform data access interface, sporting advanced features
such as prepared statements and bound parameters. PDO drivers are
dynamically loadable and may be developed independently from the core,
but still accessed using the same API.

This API is to replace the existing DB api for PHP 5.1. I have been
talking with some people in the PHP community and they mentioned
it would be great if we could get some people to review the pgsql
driver to make sure it is fully up to snuff.

Anyone up for it? This is our chance to get a really top notch PHP
driver for PostgreSQL that supports all the appropriate goodies.

Hmm... Well there must be another home for it then because
it is set to be the default database api for 5.1. Ahh now I see
it is already been pushed into the PHP source...

I apologize for the confusion.

PDO just went into beta, and can be downloaded from
http://pecl.php.net/package/pdo to be compiled into previous versions of
PHP. We really should get some PHP and PgSQL people onto making sure
the PgSQL driver is top notch (if it isn't already).
