I don't like very much PEAR::DB since they have a HUGE lack in the
errors messages accuracy... I've lost time due to an "Unknown error"
displayed by PEAR::DB which was in fact a "Permission Denied" from
PostgreSQL...  :-/

I've already tell them about this problem, but they seemed to don't care
about that.

I'm waiting PHP5 (which should have a better object model with the
possibility to throws some exceptions) and newer PEAR::DB that uses the
PHP5 possibilities. So, I will still use the pg_ functions for several
years again before having a new look on that ! :-)

Cheers,
