Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP DB Driver

PDO > MySQLi > MySQL

In your wp-config.php, add a new constant: define( 'WPDB_DRIVER', 'wpdb_driver_pdo_mysql' ); You can specify wpdb_driver_pdo_mysql, wpdb_driver_mysqli, or wpdb_driver_mysql. Any other driver will cause an error.

They should all function equally well for WordPress. The MySQL extension is being retired. In PHP 5.5, using this extension issues E_DEPRECATED errors. In PHP 5.6, it will no longer be available. The two alternative drivers are PDO and MySQLi. If WordPress switches to MySQLi or PDO, some cool new features become available to developers. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/pdo-vs-mysqli-which-should-you-use/

You can set defined in your wp-config.php to make it work. This only works for MySQLi and PDO. These defines are: DB_SSL_KEY, DB_SSL_CERT, DB_SSL_CA, DB_SSL_CA_PATH and DB_SSL_CIPHER. In case of a different port number then you can pass this to your database host like: 127.0.0.1: For more information see: - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/ssl-connections.html
