Depends on the functionality. Drivers are free(*) to implement driver specific methods on the PDO and PDOStatement objects, provided they are "namespaced" eg: $db->mysqlDoSomething() would be a mysql driver specific feature. More generic attributes can be accessed or set via the get/setAttribute methods. (*) while they are "free" to do so, it's better to discuss the feature first to see if it can be made into a more generic feature of PDO itself. -Wez.
