Nope. mysql_query() is PHP's dangerous by default interface to the mysql DB. There are better ways to do it, but that was one of the earliest, and is documented all over the place.

The problem is that it makes it easy to forget to escape the parameters to your queries. Prefer something with placeholders/bind variables.

Ah, I was under the impression that mysql_query() was provided by MySQL AB.
