OK, OK, this comes from an old workaround with SQLite3...

I put the query into a try / catch like that :
$sql="INSERT INTO categories (idx, ctime, mtime, name) VALUES (
$idx, '$dat', '$dat', '".str2sql(quoteAsAre($name))."' ) RETURNING rowid;";
$xml.="<sql>$sql</sql>";
try {
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$ret=$db->query($sql);
$row=$ret->fetch();
$rowid=$row['rowid'];
$xml.="<rowid>$rowid</rowid>";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
$xml.="<PDOException>".$e->getMessage()."</PDOException>";
}

with that i can read the sql and the error.

I'l follow your advice about quoting, ASAP )))
