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.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

What exactly do you want people to do?

My thought process was to beat the heck out of it. Find things that
don't work, should work, aren't implemented and hopefully make them
work and get them implemented.

The "get last inserted Id" business is likely to be hard to implement.
It doesn't even take parameters ...
