The old *SQL functions are still there.  You have to "use Bugzilla::DB qw(
:deprecated )" to get them, but they're there.  If you already have
something written using them, by all means don't feel like you have to
change it now.  The conversion is an ongoing thing, and someone else will
probably convert it down the road if it's something you're contributing.
