Description
The connection currently used by CiviCRM is mysql, which will be deprecated in PHP 5.5 (http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php). We could override the DB library's use of mysql as the connection type in favour of mysqli or PDO, or we could deal with this issue as part of a shift to Doctrine. IMHO, the latter is a better plan despite being much more work.
