After the not so subtle hint on the dev-dbi list I am going to start 
firing off some material here. It is going to be fairly rough around the 
edges but it will get better, I promise.

I have started to doc what I have done in the hope that it is relatively 
easy to follow. I will send it as I create it so do not rely on it 
coming in in any particular order.

The fist bit you will get is a brief into to the DBDI from the point
of view of someone who wants to access a database ie what files need to
be loaded and where. For now we are assuming that the Postgres driver I
have _thrown_ together is the universal Database babel fish Driver 
called <foo>. This is because there are no other drivers out there at 
the moment although if there is a lot of interest in having more for 
development purposes on the DBDI I will hack together a MySQL one to 
keep us running.

Some of the code is only half finished ie We can connect and prepare but 
not execute and fetch.

Watch this space.
