Is PDO faster than mysql?
Performance. While both PDO and MySQLi are quite fast, MySQLi performs insignificantly faster in benchmarks – ~2.5% for non-prepared statements, and ~6.5% for prepared ones. Still, the native MySQL extension is even faster than both of these.
Can PDO use MySQLi?
PDO will work on 12 different database systems, whereas MySQLi will only work with MySQL databases. With MySQLi, you will need to rewrite the entire code – queries included. Both are object-oriented, but MySQLi also offers a procedural API. Both support Prepared Statements.
Why do I need to use transactions in PDO?

How is a connection established in a PDO class?

Can a PDO roll back a manually issued query?
If you manually issue a query that begins a transaction PDO has no way of knowing about it and thus cannot roll it back if something bad happens. In the following sample, let’s assume that we are creating a set of entries for a new employee, who has been assigned an ID number of 23.
