OK I have a copy now.

Nice and compact, and I can see how it works. It's fine if
you are switching databases only occasionally, since you
have to work the SQL code for the database you are
accessing. The same applies with ADOdb, except that it does
manage some of the non-standard stuff internally, so ( as I
have found ) applications written for MySQL transfer to
Firebird with only a few tweaks after changing the driver
connection. With ez_sql applications I think it would take a
bit longer.

Both have their place, but I will stick with ADOdb, for the
time being - even if I am only using Firebird ;)
