I've run the PDO tests on firebird, there is much that still doesn't
work. In my opinion I would not use Firebird PDO for production things
as of yet.

I think we should create a metadata sample for Firebird, which anyone
can download, with populated data to enable testing of different
functionality.

I would be happy to make the database metadata, so I am calling for some
ideas as to what should be in the database.

Some of the obvious things - but will have to be elaborated on

* Different Numeric Types
* Computed Fields
* Views
* Generators
* Stored Procedures
* BLOBS - different types ?


Let me know your thoughts.
