PHP SQL driver performance

Question

Are there any performance benefits in using the newer PDO driver (2.0) PHP driver for SQL Server as opposed to using 1.1? I was wondering if it was worth the time to update the driver and the code.

Answer 1

http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/ mentions a release date of August 5, 2010.

Version 2.0 of the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server is now available.

Any code that was written to work with the previous releases should work with the current version 2.0 release.

I would assume the upgrade is safe
