mysqlnd.
I know we have had the discussion before, but if it is a general library
for all databases then call it something else, if it's specific for
MySQL then it only needs to be installed when MySQL is available on a
system?
Which general library? We are talking about mysqlnd which is obviously
only for MySQL.
And what do you mean by "all builds" ?
We don't do builds, the distributions do builds and we can't really
control what they choose to include by default, but most of the ones I
have seen have a separate php-mysql package.
I guess you may be exclusively talking about Windows builds and that has
absolutely nothing to do with our current discussion of whether
--with-mysql should point to libmysql or libmysqlnd by default.
My SUSE installs all have mysqlnd included in the core, As do other Linux
distributions. I think for much the same reason that the windows builds do as
well? The PHP development team have decided that -without-mysqlnd is required to
remove it rather than -with-mysqlnd is with other optional packages. THAT
decision determines what the distributions all do and flags mysqlnd as a core
package?
Since I have no interest in MySQL much of this is academic other than having to
manage the fallout, so the bit I'm not understanding here is where mysqlnd fits
in with libmysql or libmysqlnd. Is mysqlnd even used by mysql if libmysql is the
default library?
