access to db handler

What I would like is for a method in the wpdb_drivers class that looks something like this: public function getDbh() { return $this->dbh; } This would allow me to use features not supported such as transactions and stored procedures. This way wordpress can do its stuff using the wpdb_drivers class while I have the freedom to do whatever the database supports without having to resort to an additional database connection. Any thoughts on this? http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-driver/ Related https://github.com/markoheijnen/wp-db-driver/issues/10
