Bug #16710 Updated: pg_exec to pg_query

ID: 16710 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: hs@cybertec.at -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: every system PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: We decided to use pg_query() because it's more consistent with other database extensions (like mysql, which uses mysql_query()) The old function names still work and won't be removed soon.

After we have finished layouting the stuff we have seen that pg_exec has changed to pg_query for ABSOLUTELY NO USEFUL reason. In addition to that my company has written > 1000k of PHP/PostgreSQL code in the past and we have to port ALL applications to the new name. This will be chaotic and I cannot see a reason for the change. Was there no way of leaving the old name????? We will never ever use PHP in the future again because what we have to face is a microsoft like change destroying all books and all applications on the market. This IS a bug for all serious companies and developers and I hope that those who are responsible for the mess will read this message.
