Subject: use mysqlnd for mysqli and PDO

Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2012 12:19:02 +0100

Package: php5-mysql
Version: 5.3.8.0-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

since PHP 5.3.3, PHP ships with a MySQL Native Driver called mysqlnd.
It is not enabled by default in PHP 5.3 but it will in PHP 5.4 (which
is in RC4 right now).

Now we can expect that it is mature enough to be used by default in
Debian packages. Moreover it comes with additional performance and
functionalities (like load balancing, replication, query result
cache).

Informations for mysqli compilation are at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php.
Informations for PDO are at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-mysql.php
Informations about mysqlnd are at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqlnd.overview.php

Thanks,
-- 
Julien

Subject: an alternative

Hi,

As an alternative, you could create a specific package, like
php5-mysqlnd, and keep the current package linking to libmysqlclient.
php5-mysqlnd would _not_ have the driver "mysql" (as opposed to "mysqli").

Then we wouldn't break existing installations but still users could
install and use easily the new implementation.

When PHP 5.4 will be released, php5-mysqlnd could be transformed into
a dummy package depending on php5-mysql.
