I agree we should work on PDO as well as Unicode.
Since the Firebird PDO driver is the sort of reverse situation to the mysql one in that much of the transaction handling that PDO 'introduces' prevents using features in Firebird. I'm using various frameworks that simply hide PDO anyway. I know that ADOdb has been shouted down in the past, but I'd like to re-open that debate since PDO is NOT a good answer to the cross database situation, and so every framework seems to create it's own version of ADOdb internally resulting in a smaller subset of databases being available to use. In many cases even though PDO is used only mysql is available anyway - so why use PDO at all?
( Just for information, Firebird can lock transactions across multiple databases while PDO is unable to handle any more than one per connection! )
