Hm. Could there be a way to keep both optimization and the abstraction layer? e.g. I can still do my case $db_type for fine grained schema creation control, and then after my switch run a general db_create_table($table_array) for tables that do not need the fine-grained control.....but then again....that's riding the fence...hmm...yeah, no win-win here. blah.
i disagree with the riding the fence comment. There CAN be more than 1 way to do something "right" in drupal if we'd like no? I agree i like to unify where i can but sometimes there is a good argument to provide two different ways to do something because the use case changes (which seems to be the case here). One could even use the other in its implementation if desired to reduce code duplication. -- Michael Favia michael@favias.org tel. 512.585.5650 http://michael.favias.org
