As I pointed out last week, we needed these functions for several reasons:
- the same features are not available directly via sql commands. - we needed PDO in order to use the doctrine framework but we needed to verify the transaction status and use the pgsql copyFrom/To functions - for performance and optimization, we needed to avoid to open two connections (one with the old driver and one with the PDO one). When I developed the functions, I patched the specific pgsql PDO driver (not the global one) and I did it following the convention used for other pgsql PDO functions (or for other DBMS specific PDO functions: for example pgsqlLOBCreate or sqliteCreateAggregate). As I wrote last week, according to me too the best solution would be to share the PDO opened connection between the old pgsql driver and the PDO one That was the original way we tried to develop the patch without success. If anyone could give me any tip to follow, I would try to develop it.
