 From the PHP manual:

"PDO provides a data-access abstraction layer, which means that, 
regardless of which database you're using, you use the same functions to 
issue queries and fetch data. PDO does not provide a database 
abstraction; it doesn't rewrite SQL or emulate missing features. You 
should use a full-blown abstraction layer if you need that facility.",

Aha - and why does it have a parser for emulating prepared statements?
