[ciapug] OOPs... I hit a problem

[Bryan Baker]

Assuming this is in a test environment ATM, have you tried putting in 
something like:

$db->debug = true;

Where $db is your connection object. One of the features of ADOdb is 
that you can turn on some debugging w/ that command that trace (and 
print) all of your transactions (and provides errors that might 
otherwise seem silent). I've just been re-purposing a little project I 
did a couple years ago using ADOdb, and that little command (I just 
uncomment it when something doesn't work) helped me a lot.

If you've already used that, sorry for the lame advise, but I didn't 
see that you've used it yet in your post. Hope it helps.
