We can now execute and fetch as can be seen from the bit of code I just 
posted. I am now working on handling multiple database/statement handles.

I am also very open to suggestions about what people want to see here. 
If there are no suggestions I will just continue along as I am doing and 
it will probably all need to be changed when we start getting some 
feedback. If you think of me as your humble servant start firing 
questions/abuse and I will see what I can do.

Some questions of my own:

1. Where are we going to put all the source.

Thoughts:
I am asking this because I am not sure that the Parrot source tree is 
the correct place to put it (neither is Tim). There are various reasons 
for this which I am sure Tim is bored explaining, not least of which 
will be namespaces etc.

I am able to create a source tarball and hang it off my website but this 
if it happens should be a temporary measure and you will still need to 
have the Parrot source which is unavoidable.

2. What are people expecting/wanting to see first.

Thoughts:
At the moment I am rummaging around having a whale of a time doing what 
I _think!_ is correct. This is not necessarily a good idea so we really 
need some people to start making suggestions as to what they want to see 
done first. We also need some discussion on the Parrot DBDI and what 
people would like to see in it.
