not catching DB errors while using PDO as driver - El Forum - 05-31-2013

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I came across an issue where CI isn't reporting errors with incorrect update statements. I can write a query which clearly violates duplicate keys or has incorrect column names, yet CI gives no error whatsoever with

Code:
echo $this->db->_error_message(); //returns nothing

echo $this->db->_error_number();  //returns '0000'

However as soon as I change over to using mysql as the driver, I receive error messages.

I've even tried

Code:
$this->db->query(.... //violating statement

to bypass active record, and no luck with errors.

Is this a problem with PDO? Or are there additional config settings to change when using PDO?
