#8190: Using the latest ADOdb library

Component:  vtigercrm    |    Version:  6.1.0 - wip
 Severity:  Medium       |   Keywords:  mysqli, PHP5.5
-------------------------+----------------------------
 There is a '''note''' related to the mysqli / php 5.5.x support.
 Debugging this part I have realized the used '''ADOdb library is quite
 outdated from 8 June of 2006'''.

 @version '''V4.90 8 June 2006''' (c) 2000-2006 John Lim

 Is there a specific reason to use these old libraries, now in 2014?

 There is a new ADOdb library, maintained and updated version '''5.19 from
 23-Apr-2014'''.

 I did an experiment.
 I tested the vtiger SVN 14224 instance simple with replacing the
 outdated ADOdb library v4.90 with the latest v5.19 ADOdb library.
 All basic database functionality works as it was expected.

 Basic module data save, update, CustomModule data save, update works
 well with new ADOdb library.

 So, I suggest the ADOdb library update to the latest and test vtiger 6.1
 beta with this. It will improve the mysqli support as it shown in the
 library changeset.
