I have know for a while about the Apache Foundation's cross platform
framework APR, but late last week I discovered the APR framework has a
database abstraction layer called DBD. I see there is no Firebird
driver in the APR project, I was wondering if anyone knew of an effort
to create a DBD layer.

P.S. I think PHP has support to use the DBD layer to make it database
agnostic, so implementing a DBD driver for Firebird could open it up
to even more users.

Details on the framework can be found here:
