Ok, but the test program is currently my only way to test the
driver. Last time I tried I was not able to create tables. Do you have
a simple program on your box that is suitable to do some testing on
Debian?

This would require moving to 0.9.0 two weeks after releasing
0.8.0. I'm afraid this is going to confuse packagers. So far I've seen
0.8.0 only as a Fink package, thanks to Peter O'Gorman.

I'd suggest to invest some more work into 0.9.0. A couple of things
come to mind, like support for sequences, a create_db() function which
handles encoding stuff transparently and so on.

regards,
Markus
