Re: pdo prepare()

It depends on the driver, but in general, when you call a PDO method, the underlying equivalent of that method does happen. You're probably running your code against a driver where PDO emulates the functionality. PDO and its drivers don't necessarily know if prepare is to be emulated until you actually attempt to prepare. Why do you need to know? --Wez. On 9/30/05, Lukas Smith <lsmith@php.net> wrote: > Hi, > > It seems to me like prepare() does not actually prepare the query in the > database?
