Would be bad if it hasn't - as long as both projects are mainly 
compatible they can profit from each other. GIT is really nice for that 
but you should ask Hendrik instead how to deal with that :-)

Mh thanks for the tip I need to think about that in more deep.

The thing which I am missing in libdbi-implementation is parameter 
binding which really is a performance tweak with lots of queries with 
different values. Another headache but maybe I'll hack that and send a 
patch to the developers. Mostly it is important for Oracle meanwhile.

About Kohana - had a short look into the Database drivers. Oracle 
support won't be that big problem to implement but that won't be me. 
Hopefully it will be done because then Ninja and Merlin combined to 
Nagios would be an option alternatively to Icinga with optimized IDO for 
Oracle (which is my main task right now).

Kind regards,
Michael
