ADODB will run Oracle, and any fixes to make Firebird work with flyspray would
be the same for Oracle, so getting one working would add the other to
flyspray. I found a lot less resistance to Firebird on bitweaver once Oracle
was also involved :)

I have a vague recollection of Paul Reeves showing me flyspray a couple of
years ago when we were discussing ADOdb at the 2005 conference. But it may
have been something similar :(
