PDO_MYSQL is a driver that implements the <link linkend="ref.pdo">PHP
Data Objects (PDO) interface</link>
to enable access from PHP to MySQL 3.x, 4.x and 5.x databases.
</para>
<para>
PDO_MYSQL will take advantage of native prepared statement support
present in MySQL 4.1 and higher. If you're using an older version of the
mysql client libraries, PDO will emulate them for you.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
Beware: Some MySQL table types (storage engines) do not support transactions. When
writing transactional database code using a table type that does not support
transactions, MySQL will pretend that a transaction was initiated successfully.
In addition, any DDL queries issued will implicitly
commit any pending transactions.
