kinterbasdb 3.2 does all of that. I don't claim the design is
pretty, but it implements the column->cursor->connection->module
type conversion settings cascade that you spoke of. It has
special cases for things like non-materialized (streaming) blob
support.
The ridiculously clunky Interbase/Firebird C API makes the
implementation hairy, but it works.
