Hi, So things are moving behind the scenes, but we need a few more managers nodding off their developers time. Obviously until then the developers in question are hesitant to go public. So what does this mean? It seems we do not yet have the necessary numbers (imho we should have at least 4 driver teams) to start moving towards expanding the "specification" of PDO via tests. That being said, I would still welcome if someone would actually try out the test from the MySQL team on other RDBMS and give a basic assessment of the scope of the incompatibilities for these tests. Any takers? regards, Lukas Here is my new email address where we can talk about pdo mapopa@gmail.com

Back from the conference and I lost my job in the meantime Some summary about it is here http://www.firebirdsql.org/events/pop/pop_conf08blogs.html And i think that for firebird is critical is to have an good pdo driver for it So in first stage i think in firebird it should be fixed the pdo bugs related to it and to get it out of experimental stage http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-firebird.php Then it should run an set of tests created by sun/mysql I think we need an test suite that should work for all the databases That was the shord goal In the long term i think we should borrow more from the jdbc standard or maybe implement it
