I've found something that may or may not be an issue.  Reviewing DBI 
traces, I see regular SQL statements of the form:

   select * from <table> where pkey=''

<table> of course can be any of the tables - but it's the empty where 
clause that concerns me.  I don't know about other databases, but 
Firebird treats such a statement as an attempt to search for a null - 
and since we're searching against a defined non-null primary key nothing 
is returned.  Is it a problem to change such SQL statements, where the 
desire is simply to read the entire table, into:

   select * from <table>

Does that break anything existing?
