$Id: TODO,v 1.6.2.2.2.1 2007/07/25 22:26:14 iliaa Exp $ Roadmap for PDO Core, version 1.1: ================== - Add PDO::queryParams(), similar to PDO::query(), but accepts an array of parameters as the second argument, pushing the remaining args (which are args to setFetchMode()) up by one. - Separate the handle factory call into two phases: - handle creation - connecting This would then allow PDO to call setAttribute() for each driver option specified in the constructor. Right now, the handling of driver attributes is a bit sloppy. - Add: pdo.max_persistent pdo.persistent_timeout pdo.ping_interval with the same meanings as those options from oci8. - BLOB/CLOB. Investigate the various APIs to determine if we can transparently map BLOBs and CLOBs as PDO_PARAM_LOB. If the API needs hints from the client side, we need to introduce a PDO_PARAM_CLOB to differentiate between binary and character data. - Character set selection. Generalize/standardize this. - meta data. Formalize getColumnMeta(). Look at retrieving lists of tables and other objects in the db. - tracing/logging/debugging Add ini options: pdo.trace_file pdo.enable_tracing And corresponding attributes, ATTR_TRACE_FILE, ATTR_TRACING_ENABLE, settable at dbh and stmt levels independently. If set at the dbh level, the stmt will inherit its value. If not set explicitly in code, the defaults for the dbh will come from the INI settings. ATTR_TRACE_FILE will accept a string or a stream. The INI options are useful for administrative tracing/debugging. Trace mode will output very verbose info. General DB API Roundup: ========= Consider how the following can be implemented in PDO: mysqli_change_user(); alters auth credentials on a live connection mysqli_info(); info about rows affected by last query mysqli_master_query(); force query to run on master mysqli_ping(); ping / reconnect mysqli_stat(); one line summary of server status oci_password_change() Also consider master/slave and/or failover server configuration. Postgres: ========= - Real large object support. - Someone with more pgsql experience can suggest more features Oracle: ======= - Support for array types and collections. PDO Session module: =================== - Is it worth writing in C? Probably not. vim:se et ts=2 sw=2 tw=78:
