MySQLi SB works great also now with ecart 6.0.8 So it's just a matter of time until DataBridge is updated too.
In the meantime I already made some Websites completely with MySQLi SB and some others with MySQLi and DataBridge running side by side
when DataBridge specific features where needed.
Thanks to the folks at Webassist to make some great products combined with an unparalleled support.
