Subject: [ruby-talk:19934] interbase-0.04

Due to the overwhelming response to my prior messages...

...I am releasing a slightly-enhanced Interbase driver into the wild.
Okay, so there was no response, but I made the following changes anyway:

* Blobs are now supported like varchars.
* Negative dates are floored at zero before conversion to Ruby dates to 
avoid exceptions.

I'm not completely satisfied with either solution, but I regard this as 
a first step toward bringing this driver back to life.
High on my list is full Interbase 6 dialect 3 (SQL-92) support and 
perhaps meta-data convenience functions.
