Well this stuff does work with PEAR::MDB!

And we are talking about a model where rapid development and easy of
migration to other platforms stands at the core. So its not that big of
a deal that its running through a wrapper.

However I fail to see why all the other addressants of your reply should
care about a PEAR context (you did include all the other non PEAR
related mailinglists in your reply as well).

Don’t get overly jumpy here .. there is no reason to. This can be a big
deal for a lot of people (especially the enterprise folks which you also
frequently cite as a target for PHP). So it works with php, it works in
combination with a PEAR package ... I see a context.

Regards,
Lukas

[PHP] connecting to oracle 9i as user SYS

2003-02-01 Thread Lukas Smith
Hi,

The topic says it all:
How do you connect to oracle 9i as the user SYS?

In the user comments about OCILogon() someone mentions that this is a
little problematic with 9i, but doesn't really spell out the solution.

[PHP] RE: [PEAR-DEV] [debugger] ??

2002-06-10 Thread Lukas Smith

#1 Don't cross post like this ... asking about a free Editor that
integrates with DBG would fit php-general but definitely not php-dev or
pdphoc
#2 Don't come to any of this lists for "hacks" for software
#3 DBG is freeware and there are several Editors that integrate DBG

SE IDE was bundeled with DBG version 2.10, but was dropped afterwards
(dunno if the old version is still up on the site)

PHPEdit is Opensource www.phpedit.com

Maguma Light is freeware www.maguma.com

[PHP] RE: [PEAR-DEV] New Metabase Aniversary release

2002-01-22 Thread Lukas Smith

Hi,

so for all who care:
I will begin pearifying Metabase starting next week.
Obviously this will take a fair amount of time. Also I am fairly busy
with work so any help is greatly appreciated.

This is also my first stab at reworking such a huge amount of code that
was originally written by someone else. I am quite optimistic that it
will work out though (with the megabytes of code my companies framework
fills sometimes that code feels alien too :-)  ) and I am allready quite
aqainted with the Metabase code. I am not very experienced with PEAR DB
code though so it is very important for people to tell me what features
are missing from Metabase that are included in PEAR now. I also would
like to hear where people think the issues will be (and possibly how to
solve them).

Aside from the fact that the Metabase class is not derived from the PEAR
core class there are a couple of things, like being able to retrieve and
associative array from a result set, missing from Metabase.

The goal is to have a DB abstraction layer based on Metabase with a PEAR
DB API. The outcome will be compatible with both Metabase and PEAR DB
where necessary through a wrapper class.

I also would like to hear if anyone uses Metabase with using the API in
metabase_interface.php .. if there are not many people using it then all
then I can safely modify the method names and parameters orders in the
new DB class and make the same changes to metabase_interface.php.

I guess after getting a good idea where the problem zones are and not
what features are missing I will first attempt to get a pearified
version of Metabase along with the MySQL driver working.

I will first focus on the functional aspects, then step by step making
the necessary changes to make that final code compliant to the PEAR
coding standard.

FYI: there has been a lot of discussion about this project in the last
couple months (especially december irrc) on the pear-dev mailinglist. So
some questions might allready be answered there.

Best regards,
Lukas Smith

what you want todo is split them up by purpose
so you can include as needed

also check the differences on
include (include_once) versus require (require_once)

unfortunately i tried mdb and it was totally unusable and badly documented,
and to port pear db over to mdb was impossible, i find pear db ok, even
adodb is cool, i had to build my own class specifically just for mysql with
pretty good performance as no others could.
Actually it had just as much documentation as PEAR DB since a while (I 
will update the MDB docs with DB updates soon .. just as I will port 
over the improvements made to DB). Its just that MDB can do way more 
than DB and yes all of those advanced features havent been documented.

I am not sure what you mean with "unuseable". Care to enlighten me?

Anyways yes I guess in alot of ways I have been somewhat foolish in this 
entire process. Since I did MDB few people helped me even though alot of 
people wanted all the nice Metabase features. At the same time I keep 
helping out in DB, posting patches etc. So essentially its a one way 
direction. I feed DB, but DB doesnt feed MDB (so I have to watch thr CVS 
commits to figure out if I should apply the same thing to MDB).

So in the end it seems to me that I was a bit blind sided as to what 
people really wanted in PEAR. Appearently they prefer to stay with DB, 
adding things here and there to try to add the missing features. While 
at the same time ignoring the fact that this will make DB even slower as 
it is today (yes MDB is faster than DB, MDB2 even more so .. but that is 
another myth I was unable to combat).

Well either way MDB has worked nicely for me and a few people (and will 
get continued support) and MDB2 works even better for me. So the effort 
was worth it. Just kinda annoyign getting FUD like this spread across 
multiple MLs.

I think you're confusing the issue. PEAR DB does support many databases, 
but it only loads the code for the ones that you are currently using. So 
if you're using one database it is effectively a one database API.

Are there any time stats showing the different time in using a single

Yes things are really not that bad. However expect to give up somewhere 
a fairly significant amount of performance. If you are using an 
abstraction layer you have to do it with a good reason (you need to 
support multiple databases mainly :-)  ).

Here is a benchmark John Lim came up with:
http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/
It only tests MySQL though and it implements a very unrealistic 
scenario. The reason that ADODB scores so high can be read here:
