I don't think he wants to use mysql_connect() directly, I think he wants WP to use
mysql_real_connect() instead of mysql_connect()  (Correct me if I'm wrong, Sai)

And it didn't sound snarky, though my response probably did :)

Back to the question though - does anyone know of a good reason *not* to use mysql_real_connect()?
Especially as 2.2 is going to MySQL 4.1... (Is that still the plan?)

Cheers,

Jamie.
