title: Kohana 3.2 ORM and PDO
body: <p>I am giving Kohana a try and I was trying to use the ORM + PDO + MySQL database, and I don't seem to find an answer in google or SO.</p>
  
  <p>I have both the database and ORM modules enabled, and I have set PDO as default in modules/database/config/database.php </p>
  
  <p>I have a simple controller, and a simple model:</p>
  
  <p>MODEL application/classes/model/blogpost.php:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  class Model_Blogpost extends ORM {
      protected $_table_name  = 'blog_post'; 
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>CONTROLLER: in application/classes/controller/welcome.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');
  
  class Controller_Welcome extends Controller {
  
    public function action_index() {
  
      $Blog_Post = ORM::factory('blogpost');    // ==&gt; ERROR HERE
  
      $Blog_Post-&gt;name = 'test1';
      $Blog_Post-&gt;description = 'this is a quick test';
      $Blog_Post-&gt;content = 'The content goes here....';
      $Blog_Post-&gt;save();
  
      $id = $Blog_Post-&gt;id;
  
      $Blog_Post = ORM::factory('blogpost', $id);
      $view-&gt;Blog_Post = $Blog_Post;
  
      $this-&gt;response-&gt;body($view);
    }
  } // End Welcome
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error when I try to run the test:</p>
  
  <p>Kohana_Exception [ 0 ]: Database method list_columns is not supported by Kohana_Database_PDO</p>
  
  <p>I have done a search in google and Stack Overflow, and my impression is that ORM may not work with PDO, is this correct? or am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
