I don't know, but most certainly not on Windows. I had a look at ext/dba, because I like that we have it bundled, but got 3 failing tests (flatfile and inifile), which might be caused by running in a Vagrant box on NTFS. So I tried to compile on Windows, just to learn that config.w32 is totally out-dated. It doesn't support individual config options for the different drivers, but rather checks whether db3 is found, and only then configures the built in drivers. Of course, db3 is not part of the delivered deps, what is likely the reason that dba_php.dll isn't distributed anymore as of PHP 5.3 (it would make sense, IMO, to ship dba_php.dll with the built-in drivers plus those whose requirements could be bundled in the deps). Fixing config.w32 shouldn't be too hard (it may take quite some time to test with the different drivers, though), but I expect further issues would have to be solved. Besides some unresolved bugs[1], for instance, it still uses zend_get_parameters_array_ex() at least once[2], even though this API has been deprecated as of PHP 7.0.0.
