Pdo Mysql driver

[oc666]

I just ended develop pdo_mysql driver based on the original mysql
driver. I started with pdo mysql because of its convenience with the
original mysql. The next step would be develop the other pdo drivers
(mssql, oracle, postgresql, etc). I started to develop with pdo
because it's native php driver for many DBs with few differences in
the code.

Here is the driver code (pre-alpha release. be careful if you going to
use):
http://joomla.libnet.co.il/libraries/joomla/database/database/pdo_mysql.php.txt

I got an error that say (running on Joomla 1.6 alpha): "Infinite loop
detected in JError"
I don't why, but I switched on the the log and here it is:

Just having a quick browse through, when you have the select you
basically make that a nop - PDO doesn't have the ability to change
database?
Same comments for ping, PDO doesn't have an equivalent?

My friend, Google, told me that we could implement pdo mysql ping
function like that:
http://terenceyim.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/adding-ping-function-to-pdo/
"My friend" didn't find any clue about select function. I think the
function is not available because of the modularity of the driver.
Those two functions aren't part of JDatabase abstract. Where those
functions are used?

Not quite sure where ping is used, it would be for a long running
script that periodically ensures their database connection is still
available (perhaps something we could build in, checking if the SQL
server disappeared error and then pinging the connection to see if PHP
can reconnect it). Select is something I've used in third party code
to switch databases on a secondary connection for items within the
same instance but it is something you could probably work around not
having.

Is the select function needed by the Joomla core?

I'm not entirely sure, I think we use it in the database adapter
connection function but nowhere else in core uses it I believe.
