Hi,

I'm running the current cvs version of libdbi and libdbi-drivers on a  
FreeBSD 6.4 box. However, there were no relevant changes in the  
firebird driver since 0.8.3. Firebird reports itself as 2.0.3.129

The --disable-docs configure switch helps to circumvent these problems  
which are usually due to an incomplete SGML toolchain.

Unfortunately I cannot confirm this problem on my box. However, I  
found a different problem (the cvs test program has a few more tests  
than 0.8.3 had, so don't be confused by the test numbers):

Test 15: Drop table:
libdbi: [query] DROP TABLE test_datatypes
     AAH! Can't drop table! Error message: 1: unsuccessful metadata update

I can't recall seeing this problem when 0.8.3 was released. Strange  
enough, the DROP TABLE command succeeds when issued from the isql  
command line client right after the above failure. I suspect this  
might be an allocation problem of sorts as well.

Did anyone else run into problems with the firebird driver? I'm not a  
Firebird expert by any means, but I'll try to reproduce these results  
on a Debian box as soon as time permits.

regards,
Markus
