Yasou, please enter a proper NEWS entry as there's no reference about
this in the NEWS file (and light this up that the old function is still
available, you see people get confused about this) . . .

We decided to use pg_query() because it's more consistent with other
database extensions (like mysql, which uses mysql_query())
The old function names still work and won't be removed soon.

I have just finished writing a book about PHP and PostgreSQL. After we
have finished layouting the stuff we have seen that pg_exec has changed
to pg_query for ABSOLUTELY NO USEFUL reason.
In addition to that my company has written > 1000k of PHP/PostgreSQL
code in the past and we have to port ALL applications to the new name.
This will be chaotic and I cannot see a reason for the change.
Was there no way of leaving the old name????? We will never ever use
PHP in the future again because what we have to face is a microsoft
like change destroying all books and all applications on the market.
This IS a bug for all serious companies and developers and I hope that
those who are responsible for the mess will read this message.
Best regards,
