And what do you suggest to improve this situation? One of my
suggestions is to have more DB developers (as in DB internals, if I
can say so :) involved. Oracle and IBM (to name the largest and most
active) understood that and actively participate.
And IBM have a commercial interest in making it easy for them to sell
licenses, so they support EVERY well used development platform ;) Since a
large percentage of their server users were probably running free copies of
PHP anyway, they saw a support revenue stream?

See the other post. I am not 'complaining' about the fact that no one is
willing to spend unpaid time on pdo_firebird, just trying to explain WHY. If
the Firebird Foundation had the deep pockets of IBM, Oracle, MySQL etc. then
we would actually PAY someone to do it, but for now it has to have a reason to
be worked on and no one has a reason :(
THAT is why the damage to the php_interbase driver was such a problem!
