Other Database Abstraction Class

Hi guys,

I would like to know if there is a way to use another Database Abstraction Class instead the adapted version of ezSQL (in $wpdb).

I’m developing a very powerfull theme with a lot of unique resources. The layout is almost done, but now, I want to integrate with database.

At the first sight, get_option() (and family) sounds good. But when I started the Advertisement module, a new table was required.

I know, I can use the WPDB Class to do that, but I never use then (at least, without the the get, set, delete WordPress functions) and I’m not fully familiarized.

So, I decided to implement the Zend_Db system, from Zend Framework.

It’s working perfectly. But I’m receiving “Too many connections” errors from PDO::MySQL just because the Theme, inside WP-Admin, already have a MySQL connection.

Currently, I’m create a “fix” to hide this error,but it’s not the best practice, because the system is slower than normal.

I need help to:

– Close the WPDB connection OR
– “Stop” by a moment this connection (with __construct()’s and __destruct()’s) OR
– Another way to use without this error.

Opening the wp-db.php file, in the Class description there is a possible solution, creating a db.php file in wp-content. But it’s not working.

Opening several files after, I discovered if this db.php file exist, it will included instead wp-db.php.

But, at least until now, it’s not true.

Weel, that is it.
