Hi internals!

I think the PDO discussion has to be moved to it's own thread, because
despite the fact that it is used widely and successfully, there is a
certain percent of advanced projects that either have to work around the
issues or completelly abandon the PDO for some parts of the project,
effectivly dropping any used framework functionality related to the
database.

I have some personal gripes with PDO and actually looked into mysqli-as-pdo
library (but can't find the link to it now and it was kind'a old already at
that time), because I really had the need to use functionality that mysqli
provided and was absent in PDO - although I found some ugly
workarounds/hacks for some things and just did things differently for other
parts as ultimately hacking the framework with a MySQLi as PDO wrapper was
not worth the effort (and I solved some of the problems the ugly way).

With your permission, I want to start that "Future of PDO" thread, laying
out my personal experience with it and some thought for the future to
invite the discussion.

Arvids.
