Yes.
The PRIMARY reason was because of the number of non MySQL users who
requested that.
No. Will you please stop trying to rewrite history. There was an outcry
when MySQL was unbundled - you were probably the only PHP user who was
happy about it :)
And every other non-MySQL database user.
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5
outlines some of the 'problems' but I can't find the other requests in the
list archive. Although I have found ones from 2003 where I tell people HOW to
enable MySQL again. I think the initial problem was that the extensions were
not available for MySQL initially and took a while to appear?
WHY can't MySQL simply stay in the extensions with the rest of the database
extensions. Why does it have to have preferential treatment? If applications
need a little database to work they use SQLite otherwise we load a suitable
alternative of our choice!
