how would this compair to using ADODB or one of the PEAR based projects?

Hey all!
In talking to skwashd about doing some schema proc work, I brought up
the fact that I have an XML definition for defining the database schema
that is used by DCL HEAD and GNU Enterprise. What I'd like is to get a
feel for the level of interest in moving schema proc to run completely
from XML.
I currently have style sheets that perform the following:
* Create MSSQL XML command script
* Create MySQL XML command script
* Create PostgreSQL XML command script
* Create Sybase XML command script
* Transform a command script into a SQL script
* Transform the original definition into a DHTML schema browser
The XML command script mentioned above is just a series of SQL
statements that can be ran.
What this definition lacks is defining default data and upgrades. It
should also be noted that a transform could be created to generate PHP
if one was so inclined.
I feel with the move to XML/XSLT in phpGW that this is a very logical
step to take. It also makes supporting new RDBMS' a cake on the schema
side because you just write a new transform to translate data types and
such for that particular RDBMS.
I plan on throwing this into the wiki (with more detail) if y'all would
like to make a go of it.
