Re: [PATCH] MySQL Escape String (another one)

I'm +0 for this patch as it.

There will be a compatibility breaker with Mysql < 4
as the mysql_real_escape_string as been implemented in mysql 4.
We already had this discussion 4 years back with the stipe's patch.
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05072.html)
This was mainly reject by this, but we are now in 2009 :-)
hopping everyone have updated their mysql version.

IMO, The idea would be to implement a new bool config variable
to use or not the mysql_real_escape_string() function.

BTW, we may all know that this function will use a connection to the DB
and by consequences will load the Mysql server.
