Are we able to use MYSQLi instead of PDO when using the aiven MYSQL database?
Yes, you can use MySQLi instead of PDO when using the Aiven MySQL database. MySQLi (MySQL Improved) is a PHP extension that provides an interface to communicate with MySQL databases. PDO is compatible with 12 different databases, while MySQLi will only work with MySQL databases.
