[Vtigercrm-developers] should we update to latest version ofadodb?

[Allan Bush]

As far as I know (and I think I've gone over just about every sql
statement in the program, multiple times) PearDB is never used.  The
adodb wrapper class was given the name PearDatabase which can lead to
some confusion but all database communication goes through adodb
(other then the occasional direct mysql_* call people try and sneak
in).
