MySQL AB project officially supports PDO

Lukas SmithPublic Announcement recentlyMySQLThe development team finally recognized the efforts and future prospects of the PDO development team and began to support them.

What is PDO?
PHPData Object (PDO) is an extension of PHP. It defines a simple and persistent access to the databaseMethod. We can easily use a set of defined functions to access each database that implements PDO.
PDO provides a set of abstract methods for accessing the database. That is to say, no matter what type of database is accessed, we only need to access the database using the same name, which greatly simplifies database operations.

AsAlexey zakhlestinPoints out today,Lukas SmithHas made the announcement that the MySQL group is finally recognizing the efforts of the PDO developers and supporting them:

OK, it seems that MySQL AB is finally committing to fix up pdo_mysql and to generally accept the fact that PDO is the future. of course mysqli will also be actively maintained. but they will also make mysqlnd play nicely with PDO etc.

There's budgets and time lines for the project so things are already moving along and developers to the project will soon be assigned. Lukas also mentions updated on PHP's side-validating that the documentation for the extensions (MySQL and mysqli) are up to date and correct.
