Depends on the functionality.

Drivers are free(*) to implement driver specific methods on the PDO
and PDOStatement objects, provided they are "namespaced"

eg:

$db->mysqlDoSomething()

would be a mysql driver specific feature.

More generic attributes can be accessed or set via the get/setAttribute methods.

(*) while they are "free" to do so, it's better to discuss the feature
first to see if it can be made into a more generic feature of PDO
itself.
