May I question the sanity of the words written in this email? :D (it's a joke). The whole point of mysqlnd drivers and other improvements was to cut down on data copying, improving performance and doing a lot of other stuff. Moving PDO to a PHP implementation will kill it all: preformance will suffer, memory usage will skyrocket, dealing with charsets - I don't even wana pretend I understand how to deal with that part in a proper fasion. Doesn't it require access to internal PHP api's to do a lot of what PDO and other native drivers do? Well, the Zephyr could pitch in here, MAYBE, depending on how good it actually is and what it can do, but still, it feels more like a cruch to me.
