Users of the PEAR::DB module now have another easy choice for upgrading their code to work with another database package - MDB2. According to this post from Jacques Marneweck, there's a wrapper Lukas Smith created to help ease the transition.

The wrapper functionality has been included in the MDB2 package for a while now, and is designed to make things simple when switching from one package to another (as seamless as possible).

You can download the latest version of MDB2 from its page on the PEAR site.
