bogus and either need to be removed or fixed.


I think that there is a need to review how the whole PDO test setup works, since
many of the bug/tests I am seeing there are SQL specific, yet are being applied
to all drivers? Certainly there should be base functionality that works
transparently, but as soon as one tries running driver specific SQL then those
tests need to be driver specific rather then part of a generic set? Or every
test needs to cater for the SQL differences?


I can raise patches for items originating from bugs, but what is the right way of doing the same for tests that are not linked to existing bugs? Raise a bug with some notes and post to that?
