Hi Guillaume, > 1 - Is there already a solution I'm not aware of, that would fit my needs? i'm not sure but i think there is no such thing as a abstract database connection provider plugin for dokuwiki. Just a obsolete one[1]. > 2 - Otherwise, would added such an "pdo provider" to the core be a good idea? To put pdo in the core makes no sense. It would just make the core heavier an has no advantage compared to a plugin version. 3 - Otherwise, I'll just go ahead with my idea of helper plugin. Yep ;-) May the sqlite plugin[2] can give you inspiration. Especially the mechanism to update the database tables, you can see an example of it use in the do plugin[3] for example.
