Hi Mike,
7) Introduce mysqlind library into core and use it as a backend for PDO and mysqli extensions (possibly enabling them by default) 1 0 -1
The mysqlind driver is currently alpha. Wherever it goes it should be marked EXPERIMENTAL and off by default Frankly, I'm wondering (out loud) if PEAR wouldn't be a better place for it until PHP6?
ouf.... PEAR is for PHP code, PECL is for C code. This is C code. It's also a *native* PHP driver, meaning it's faster than the libmysql library used currently for all MySQL-related extensions. The difference in build terms is simply a configure switch, and I don't see anyone recommending it should be mysqlnd by default at this stage. - Steph
