David Werner and I worked together to give Zend_Auth the ability to authenticate using Doctrine’s DBAL. The new proposal is ready for review here. Check it out and let us know if you have any comments/questions/concerns

I’m currently working on a fairly complex (database-wise) project that makes use of nested transactions, and having failed to do my homework beforehand, a little while ago I came to find out the hard way that Zend_Db doesn’t support them (yet). After looking around rather quickly at my options I decided to use Doctrine as a replacement database abstraction layer. Although it is quite different the way it operates (Zend_Db is not an ORM like Doctrine), the fundamentals are somewhat the same, but even still every single one of my application’s queries would have to be rewritten.
