I've been using the DB package for the ST Parser sports data project, 
because I want my program to run on lots of different DBMS's.

This package in particular is good, and with a bit of touch up work, could
be great.  I have tried, and continue try, to contribute to it.  
Unfortunately, the developers could do a better job of listening,
accepting submissions and answering a few obscure, but key, questions
which would help me help them.  I think I'm close to getting some
improvements in there.

Fortunately, there are some energenic new people involved.  Plus, each 
package has a different maintainer, so mileage may vary.  Also, a new 
governing body has been established to help coordinate/plan things.  
Standards for documentation and other things have been put in place, which 
is great.

Well, that's all for now,
