no offence taken really - and I'm sure the guy who wrote the extension
doesn't care much either - having said that I consider him a friend and
his work on the firebird extension is top notch - its disappointing to see
that so few people appriciate (spelling?) that.

you didn't ask questions you made a statement and a rather brief one at that,
which gave the indication that you were bemoaning the fact that some fringe
functionality that's primarily designed to be used by database designers to
tune db schemas and queries is not supported by the php wrapper extension
(which is primarily designed to allow user access - and I would suggest
that queries being run via php should have been optimized/designed with proper
tools assuming that the queries/db is complex enough and/or the project large
enough to warrant that kind of optimization).

try this: http://www.ibexpert.com/
as recommended by your friendly firebird extension developer ;-)

and/or maybe you could share with us what it is you are trying to achieve, and
maybe why... then we could have a real discussion :-)

ps - Ard, are you around? I would really like to see that miniMac setup of yours :-)
