in thread Much slower DBI on RHEL6

Does Perl's OO method call really produce that much of a slowdown? (BC vs DBC is 3,3 vs 3,9 in SQLite's case.) How does that happen?
while ($sth->fetch) { # bound columns # most of the time a negligible difference # but this is sometimes faster? while (DBI::st::fetchrow_arrayref ($sth) { # 'DBC'

Oh, and any chance of having DBD::Firebird tested, too?

    DBD::Firebird added to the list I posted before. I can't say I was positively surprised in installation and startup. OpenSUSE had the packages readily available, so installation went smooth. service started immediate, but then the shit hits the fan: I find the quick start guide way too Windows-minded and none of the commands is intuitive. Furthermore, the DBD installation is a hell: it does not find the needed libraries of header files in what I thought were pretty default locations. The firebird (and firebird-devel) packages installs the libfbclient.so.2 but no (symbolic) link to libfbclient.so. Creating of a new database has no command-line-tool. All and all I am not very charmed yet.

      Yeah, sorry about that. User-friendliness does not seem to be a point of focus for the developers. But thanks!
