Really?

Oh, yes. It is not object-oriented.

- ~40 (primary) functions
- struct XSQLDA
- struct XSQLVAR
- struct ARRAY_BOUND
- struct ARRAY_DESC
- struct BLOB_DESC
- struct QUAD
- struct TIMESTAMP

This is really dreadful and complexity?

OK. Your concrete offer?

Define one

- fb_please_make_my_job(ISC_THIS_IS_MY_DATA*)

?
