Re: [libdbi-devel] libdbi-drivers-0.8.1 to be released soon

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi Christian,

I've installed the superserver on my Debian box, and finally I got it
to work. make test runs successfully without giving me these
permission headaches like the classic server did. I have no
explanation for this behaviour, but this should probably be mentioned
in the yet-to-be-written driver documentation or in the README.

The bad news is that the Retrieve data test produces a couple of
errors and mostly incorrect output. Partially the test program exceeds
firebird's builtin limits, so we have to adapt the test program. Other
errors, e.g. the binary string quoting, simply look broke:

Test 8: Retrieve data: 
        Got result, try to access rows
the_char errflag=3
the_uchar errflag=3
the_ulonlong: test skipped for this driver.

This is after updating to your latest checkins. Does this look the
same on your box? I'll see what I can do.
