If you have a chance to, please do. We should first try to isolate
problems related to the firebird driver itself. Only then we should
look at portability, which is a serious next issue.

I've fiddled with the test program in the past couple of days to clean
up the attribute and type retrieval tests. They were often incomplete
and painful to maintain. I've introduced hashes which provide the
expected values, so the test functions themselves are
driver-independent. We might think about extending this idea, as it
would simplify adding other drivers to the test framework. In any
case, the changes increased the number of tests to approx. 450
(sqlite3) which means that the coverage has increased substantially.

Also, I've noticed that the firebird driver may have a problem with
fixed-size string fields. This may be the reason for one of the
oddities of the driver, which seems to return field names with
trailing spaces and a newline. I'll add tests for fixed-size fields
shortly. Once that is done, I'll move on to do some firebird tests on
Debian.

regards,
Markus
