    Jason,

    I have been investigating PDO to use with MODx release 0.9.6.3 Also, I have reviewed about ORM’s.

    What is your recommendation to use, for example, ORM Propel:
    http://propel.phpdb.org/trac/,

    as one alternattive of XPDO? ...because now, MODx Revolution GA is not ready?

      I’ve been using xPDO in production applications (with and without MODx) for almost 3 years now; and I wrote xPDO because of Propel. The prototype for Revolution was written with Propel and I hated it so much I had to roll my own ORM. PHP Doctrine is a little more promising than Propel, but for me, I’m fully invested in xPDO. It’s lighter than any other ORM, is designed specifically around PDO, and once documentation for xPDO is available, I’m hoping it will gain some more momentum.

      MODx Revolution is written on top of xPDO, but xPDO has no dependencies on MODx.

        Than you for your reply Jason, but would you please explain a little more your last words?
        When do you think that the xPDO documentation will be available?
        Please, I do not understand very well about "xPDO has no dependencies on MODX"
        May I already use MODx Revolution for production without critical problems, instead of MODx 0.9.6.3?

            Splittingred,

            Thanks for the link to XPDO documentation.

            I am beginning one web site updating project, and I have been investigating the different options of MODx to support my update. Now, I am working about the integration of my data model with MODx that will use the web site.

            I have seen in the documentation of MODx that MODx Revolution GA release will occur in late 2009. Do you know what will be the date because I would prefer to use Revolution to develop my web site update.

              The more testing and feedback the earlier the release. We do not have a set date, and well ... it is software and we’re donating our time. smiley
