Hi Alfred,

Actually, I too remember there being a db_* API in ACS 3.4.x and the docs mention it too (https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/db-api.html). Jonathan Ellis ported the ACS 4.2 db api to openacs 3.x and created a patch.

There might be some useful stuff in the (not so) new-file-storage area of the old site (http://sdm.openacs.org/new-file-storage). I think some of Andrew's work is there.

Oh, the first release of what we now think of as the OpenACS 4.x db_* api was in fact in ACS 3.3, 3.4, or something like that. But definitely not in 3.0! At least up through ACS 3.2 did not have it. I think post ACS 3.2 was when some of the new 4.x style stuff started going in - db api, templating, maybe request processor, etc. Of course, that was a long time ago now, and I don't really remember for sure. :)
