And Michael is working on this without getting paid at all.  :-)

So if he made mistakes, be considerate, will you ? No one's perfect.
I suspect that Michael assumed that by using ADODB, automatically the 
queries will work with all the databases. Which now we have found out to 
be false.

And I think Michael referred to me when he mentioned about phpOpenChat 
working with Oracle.
Let me tell you something - it didn't work straight away, as I expected. 
But I didn't fret, instead I investigated the work required to get it to 
run, with help from my friend who is an Oracle DBA.
Surprisingly, it's very little work.
POC now runs on Solaris, using Oracle DB, with no problem.

Kind words can help to motivate people to mend their mistake(s) - not 
rude ones.
