[wp-hackers] Better insert and update

[Robert Deaton]

I've also often thought of the exact same thing, and then a more
pluggable wpdb object to allow a simple form of database abstraction
for inserts and selects.

I don't see the need, before we were allowed to insert any SQL we
wanted, why would we try to work around a non-existant stupidity in
developers? Plus, this could yield unexpected results, like if we
assumed that it was safe to discard the information, at that point,
the developer thinks their information was inserted and can therefore
be selected. We need errors, they were made for a reason.
