A few weeks ago I posted a message about a mock DBD and got the
response from Tim that DBD::NullP (included in the DBI dist) would be a
good place to start. I built on that (but far too much for a patch,
sorry Tim) and created DBD::Mock, which does everything I need so far.

This patch stops DBI printing the connection password in an error
message.

When trying to open more than 25 connections at once with DBD::Sybase
I get the error

It's been a while since I last posted here. In September 2003 I was
trying to add support for binding XMLType objects to DBD-Oracle, so that
you could easily insert large (ie >4k) XML data into an XMLType table.
Unfortunately my employer fired me in October 2003 and in the remaining

Hi Jan,
the fetch method of DBD::ADO::st contains the following lines:
   my $row =
     [ map { $rs->Fields($_->{Name})->{Value} } @$ado_fields ];

Here's a draft of an announcement about the Parrot DBDI project.
What's that? I hear you ask. Well, read on...
I'd appreciate any feedback you may have, especially any more
questions that I should address.

Tim,
I've run into an odd problem using the DBI::Proxy.  In Programming Perl -
3rd Edition, the claim is made that Perl will always try to restart
interrupted "slow" system calls if POSIX sigaction() is supported.

I need an advice on how to deal with SUCCESS_WITH_INFO
from a DBD writers point of view.
If ADO places an error into it's error collection,
this error may be one of 4 kinds (oledberr.h):

This patch to DBI-1.40 fixes an error
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at DBI.pm line 1735
when using execute_array() with zero values for a bind parameter.  It
includes some new test cases, but not all of the new tests failed

My initial input would be:
Ensure that we have proper goals!!!
Is this going to be a DBI conformance test or a driver test suite?  I belive
those are two different (but not incompatible) goals. A conformance test

Sorry to throw out a newbie question without digging
through all the docs.  Problem is that I have a couple
servers that were upgraded to Sybase 12.5 but my site
perl DBD:Sybase was compiled for Sybase 11.9.2 and I
