Too small to actually take care of it? With the risk to repeat myself, the goal is to have a long term working extension with maintainer(s). An extension without maintainers, especially DB related extensions (or service specific extension) will slowly die within a couple of years if nothing is done. Let forget PDO for now, that's not the point (even if a working firebird support for PDO would rock). Cheers, -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
