PDO in Codeigniter

[eluser]kgill[/eluser]
I just hacked DB.php, basically everything between:

// Load the DB classes. Note: Since the active record class is optional

and just before the return statement I commented out and replaced with:

$DB =& new PDO($params['dbdriver'].':host='.$params['hostname'].';dbname='.$params['database'], $params['username'], $params['password']);

It's a quick and dirty hack but it got me what I wanted, $this->db gives me my PDO object.
