[FIXED] What design pattern is PEAR DB_DataObject implementing?

Issue

DB_DataObject does not appear to be ActiveRecord because you do not necessarily store business logic in the "table" classes. It seems more like Table Data Gateway or Row Data Gateway, but I really cannot tell. What I need is good ORM layer that we can use with DataMapper and a DomainModel. Any ideas?

Solution

Follow this link to read what DB_DO is. In a nutshell, it doesn't implement a specific pattern, it just aims to provide a common interface. The idea is to not rebuild the same basic code in each project.

As for an ORM, I'd recommend Doctrine. It implements ActiveRecord.
