However, this is tucked away inside the docs for each driver. Perhaps we should add something to the docs for getAttribute and setAttribute to make the convention more visible? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-29 12:18:16] krakjoe@php.net This seems to be a flaw in the design of PDO; Drivers with driver specific attributes are instructed to use the same value "PDO_ATTR_DRIVER_SPECIFIC" (1000) to identify their first specific attribute. Any two drivers with driver specific attributes are vulnerable to the same problem. I am not super familiar with PDO, so, unsure how to fix it ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-29 11:34:01] downsider84 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ The constants MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY and PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_NATIVE_PREPARED_STATEMENT have the same value, 1000. Setting MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY when using the pgsql driver causes a "deprecated" warning about PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_NATIVE_PREPARED_STATEMENT. This is non-obvious and potentially difficult to debug. Test script: --------------- ini_set("display_errors", 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); // change credentials as appropriate $dbName = "test"; $host = "locahost"; $username = "root"; $password = ""; $pdo = new \PDO("pgsql:$dbName=db;host=$host", $username, $password); $pdo->setAttribute(\PDO:MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY, true); Expected result: ---------------- Deprecated: PDO::setAttribute(): PDO::PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_NATIVE_PREPARED_STATEMENT is deprecated, use PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES instead in [filename] on line [lineno] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71916&edit=1
