Using PDO - PHP Data Objects-

is it faster?

[henry0]

I am not sure of the answer
and did not yet perform any test
however I have read here and there about speed
most seem to think that using PDO deliver a faster answer
what do you think?

I haven't done any benchmarks, but I do use PDO. If there is a speed advantage, that's great. But I like it because it follows the object model and offers prepared statements, which handle escaping automatically. Now that I think about it, prepared statements are probably responsible for the speed advantage you've heard about.

Yes, that makes sense
