Which why I was asking for a general review on the situation on database access. I can definetly make a case that PDO restricts MySQL too. It lacks a lot of functionality comparing to mysqli. I also found out recently that you can't have a named param appear in a query more than once (an OR case, where 2 fields are compared against sma e value). The more you work, the more you understand that PDO was a hype, that never got finished and got almost abandoned.

It is always nice to hear people complaining and bashing things just for the sake of it. Unhappy about something? Well, fix it. Or hire someone to fix it. Connect with others and collectively hire someone to fix it. Create proper bug reports and try to find someone capable and willing to help. Whatever, but please do something useful. Guess what? Tirelessly whining about things being inherently broken won't magically fix them. Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
