• What have we learned about the PDO architecture in the past years (that needs fixing)?
• How do we deal with features that only related to one (or few) drivers?

• FETCH_SERIALIZE description is wrong, it works like FETCH_CLASS not FETCH_INTO
• document finally remaining FETCH constants like FETCH_KEY_VALUE, FETCH_FUNC
• better document fetchAll() constants

• bindValue() & bindParam() should enforce the type giving, currently it uses the current zval type for MySQL Bug #44639 / PDO: Fixing bug #44639 for mysql
  • PARAM_INT with strings => it should try to convert to the type, otherwise throw an Exception or create an error.
  • PARAM_BOOLEAN with strings => Exception or Error.
  • a new PARAM_AUTO could be used to determine the type by zval (old mysql behavior)
• execute() could use an automatic approach PARAM_AUTO, could be a BC break http://news.php.net/php.pdo/235
  • allows automatic convert to PARAM_INT if zval is integer / float

• Bug#49521 “PDO fetchObject sets values before calling constructor”
  • add note to FETCH_PROPS_LATE
  • allow setting FETCH_PROPS_LATE or assume it as default?

see http://news.php.net/php.pdo/233

• PDOStatement::getColumnMeta with a new parameter to get only one meta type back ml#123127892009423 wouldn't break the current api.
  • META_NAME => column name
  • META_TABLENAME => table name
  • ...

• add fetchAll() FETCH_UNIQUE without FETCH_GROUP (PHP5.3 seems to support it already?)
  • allow the column id to be set
  • allow to receive the key column in the result
  • allow with FETCH_CLASS
