Umm, no. Nobody has time for firebird because nobody uses it. I ask people about Firebird at each conference and I've never had more than about 1 in 50 people admit to ever having used it, and those are shaky hands going up--we're not talking die-hard firebird users here. As for PDO missing pieces for Firebird, that's also untrue. Perhaps you don't understand the PDO architecture, but PDO was designed by taking into account every database client API; it has hooks to cater for just about every conceivable way of passing data into and out of a database API. It's the firebird driver that needs work. --Wez.
