I think unfortunately this identifies the current situation :( I was prepared to spend time on the firebird driver, but on closer investigation it would seem that there are some core problems with things like clob/blob that means - with my limited digging - that they can't be used as simple string fields? This then causes problems porting new PDO code to work with firebird ( and oracle ) as well as MySQl and PostgreSQL. At the end of the day removing the PDO port and restoring ADOdb only took a few hours and is working nicely .... but I AM prepared to spend a little more time on PDO if someone who understands how it works internally can point me in the right direction! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
