I don't think you're missing something obvious here. See also a previous thread on the devel list: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.libdbi.drivers/7 (the SF archive is currently down. You'd see a few more posts of this thread) Linking the drivers against libdbi appears to be a hack that works in this situation. > [UPDATE] While my coworker was investigating the problem > described above further, I've developed (and attached) a patch to > dbd_helper.c to parse ISO8601 timezone offsets inside > _dbd_parse_datetime() if they happen to occur.

I'll give it a try with the other database engines that run on my box and check in the patch if it runs ok.
