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
