you mention you use eZSQL. I currently use ADODB, happily I must say, but I
agree it is bulky (as far as deployment is concerned, speed wise it is very
good) and I am always on the lookout for other options, just in case.

I asked a question a good while back on the eZSQL mailing list but never had
any answer: how do you handle transaction with eZSQL ? I could not find any
functions to do that and did not wanted to resort to direct access to the IB_*
or FB_* calls

if you could spare a minute to answer, I'd appreciate

thanks in advance
