 ====== Legacy MySQL drivers =====
-This page references deprecated legacy drivers for MySQL. Please refer to [[v5:database:mysql]] for the current, supported driver (mysqli).
+<WRAP important>
+This page references the legacy MySQL drivers, which are deprecated since ADOdb 5.20 and were removed in 5.22.
+</WRAP>
+Please refer to [[v5:database:mysql]] for the current, supported driver (mysqli).
+===== Migrating to the mysqli driver =====
+If you are still using the legacy //mysql//, //mysqlt// or //mysqlpo// drivers, you should be planning on migrating to the **[[v5:database:mysql|mysqli driver]]**. Support for both drivers is built into PHP up to version PHP 5.4. From an ADOdb standpoint, it is simply a case of switching from
+  $db = newAdoConnection('mysql')
+to
+  $db = newAdoConnection('mysqli')
