I imagine this working similar to the ODBC or the JDBC driver for DBI currently.  I have read the DBI::DBD documentation (only once, not twice as instructed) and have found it very verbose.  It seems that writing a C driver will be the optimal solution for speed but a pure perl driver will make the module more maintainable.  If I were to work on the driver I think my goal would be a pure perl driver.  The DBI::DBD documentation suggest an initial email to the dev list before pursuing code on any driver, so here I am.  If anyone is currently working on this or is interested in working on this could you please let me know.

If I were writing a DBD personally I'd do a Pure Perl first, then a C 
implementation, so the module would fall back to Pure Perl if the C 
library wasn't available.
