From: glideraerobatics at hotmail dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Add PDO constant MYSQL_ATTR_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS in order to influence rowCount()
Description: ------------ PDO is very similar in design to Perl's DBI which does allow you to set driver specific attributes such as mysql_client_found_rows=1 as part of the DSN. Setting the attribute mysql_client_found_rows=1 is Perl's DBD::mysql will make the rows() method (equivalent of PDO's rowCount()) return the number of rows matched for the update and not just those that were actually updated. This is a very useful/efficient feature as it prevents the need for doing 'SELECT COUNT(*)' queries before doing the updates and it prevents the need for locking too (since 2 statements are no longer atomic). PDO has a setAttribute() method, but there is as yet no MYSQL_ATTR_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS constant. My request is that this be built into the PDO mysql driver. The information rowCount() will need can be retrieved from mysql_info(). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43342&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43342&r=mysqlcfg
