YMMV. I've found in many real-life instances they are faster - because
you don't have the overhead of creating the objects.
No, they can't do anything mysqli can't. But so what? That's no
argument. It's just a different way of doing things.
As for not being activated in the default config - neither is the mysqli
extension. In fact, NO mysql extensions are activated.
And as to how long somebody will work on them - for a long, long time.
They haven't even been deprecated yet - and something is deprecated
years before it's dropped. Plus there are probably billions of LOC
which use them.
But you never answered my question. Have you heard they might be
dropped? Give me some references, instead of guesses.
And just because there is something new doesn't mean the old is unusable!
