ADOdb always had prepared statements and also handles the SQL abstraction 
problem well. But I'm biased since I'm using Firebird which has always been a 
lot faster in the more complex stuff that MySQL and Postgres added much later. 
For me running PDO is actually slower than the generic Firebird driver, which is 
why we use the generic driver with ZendDB anyway and also for the other 
databases that PDO does not support.

Also two stage cross database commit is not something PDO can support ...

I'll bite my tongue on 'of use' in PHP5.3+ ;)
