Talk:Mysqli

Andrew Schlafly, I have to assume that you are an excellent lawyer, as you have failed to impress me when it comes to Classical Greek, physics, mathematics and computer science! Please remind me never to touch an electrical device which you have repaired!

• mySQLi isn't an improved, higher performance version of MySQL, it is no database at all. It is an extension of the core of PHP. As such, it is meant to replace the former mysql extension.
• It is commonly used with php Ach was... As an PHP extension, it is only used with PHP.
• Mysqli is compatible with MySQL 4 and above. Compare this with this statement from the PHP-group: The mysqli extension is designed to work with MySQL version 4.1.13 or newer, or 5.0.7 or newer.

BTW: though the PHP-group is in no way consistent, they seem to use mySQL when talking about the database, and mysql(i) when talking about their extension...
