The firebird driver is working as it should. 
Its just the test program that doesn't work with firebird. I don't see that as 
a reason to not include it. 

About the Oracle driver. This driver worked good before the API changes for 
8.0. So to get the Oracle driver up speed should be straight forward.
Finally I'm starting to have some more time for projects like this again. So 
if somebody will just give me access to an Oracle server I will do the 
changes that is needed quickly.


I would really like to include the patch from Henrique that brings uniform 
transaction support to libdbi included before the next release. I was just on 
my way to submit that patch to cvs. 

What do you think about that?
