I am also happy to spend some time working on the Firebird/Interbase driver, but 
currently it is easier to simply switch between PDO for MySQl and Postgres and 
the other generic drivers. Just getting the basic DATA stuff working 
transparently is what is preventing me being able to use the current 
pdo_firebird driver (using blobs as text fields! ). In any case I need ADOdb on 
top anyway to provide the SQL abstraction so it make little difference to me if 
MySQl or Postgres are using PDO or their generic drivers.

Moodle has just moved over and now we have to port a copy of the other ADOdb 
drivers into the new moodle library. THAT is the major blocker to making any 
progress. Without a clean higher level library that we can standardise on, PDO 
is holding back progress rather than leading the way.
