[wp-hackers] mysql_real_connect instead of mysql_connect

[Aaron Brazell]

Perhaps I should have phrased the question "why would you use mysql_connect"... The wpdb class is a decent tool for doing sql without injection, etc.

Heh... It was just a question on my part. Like I said, don't want to sound snarky. :)

There are many, many reasons why you'd have to write an SQL query that WP doesn't have API for, not
the least of which is updating a table that the plugin itself has added...
