hmm, I haven't seen the Globals.php until now :( What do they do?

$GLOBALS['_LiveUser'][*]['tables'] <- this is just a description of the
tables? If yes I don't need it because Propel creates it's classes out
of the XML description of the database, so afaik i need no runtime info
about the database structure. Is this needed somewhere else or only in
the database containers?

$GLOBALS['_LiveUser'][*]['fields'] <- same as above?

$GLOBALS['_LiveUser'][*]['alias'] <- ??? is this to help me change a
field name in a table? But I can't change the table name? Shouldn't the
alias array rather look like
$GLOBALS['_LiveUser'][*]['alias'] = array( 'table1' =>
                                      array ('alias' => 'table1_alias',
                                             'fields' => array(
                        fields...)
),
table2...
)
or am I completely wrong?

what is pecl::sdo? or do you mean pdo?
