I agree with Martin. Besides, I often use SELECTquery to get query text, 
then log it, then execute. exec_SELECTquery does not let me to do it easily.

As to sql_query, it should be deprecated, of course. May be it should 
issue warnings all the time when it is used. I remember example from 
Java. There are functions there that do not do anything but only print 
error mesages (like "This function is obsolete use XXX instead"). I 
think it is too extreme but not worst thing to do. All depends on the 
amount of effort to support sql_query...
