David Coallier is back today with part two of his tutorial looking at the use of the Zend_db component in the Zend Framework:

From the tutorial:

This is a very quick tutorial on how to allow developers to develop using the Zend Framework without having to or being able to install PDO on their servers. I have to warn you though, this is not an official extension of the Zend Framework just yet. Anyway, let's get rolling as a lot of you are very anxious and happy about that.

The tutorial, a "more official" version a previous blog post of his, steps through the simple changes that would need to be made to get your copy of the Zend Framework up and running with no need for the PDO functionality in sight.
