We have a very large legacy codebase and I was wondering if there's any REAL advantage to upgrading to MDB2.

Thoughts? Speed? Readability? Fewer bugs? Anything at all?

Thanks

    DB doesn't properly support 'bit' fields, which caused me no end of grief until I figured that out and worked around it. Use MDB2 if you can, or even PDO for a more widely support option. – Marc B Mar 18 '11 at 14:16

DB is not maintained anymore. MDB2 gets updates, is more stable and feature-complete.

  • Just a hint: in 2011 I am sure this was the correct answer. Today (2015) everyone should compare the release dates: PEAR DB 1.8.2 (stable) was released on 2014-11-27 PEAR MDB2 2.5.0b5 (beta) was released on 2012-10-29 – gfjr Jun 24 '15 at 14:29
