        By far the best thing to do (as a user) is to get stuck into the base
code and help out with it.

        The best way to counter / stop such posts is to do the work to start
reading the code, and digging into whatever bug most concerns you - ask
questions about the code here, and we can help out. If you use databases
anyway you're prolly a more technical user, and the jump to being able
to report very good bugs of the form: "when I change this line to ABC
the bug goes - do you think that is a fix ?" rises.

        Since the beginning of September we've had 19 commits (to dbaccess &
connectivity) that I see in master - but hey - you should look at the
public cgit logs and do the analysis yourself to avoid wasting developer
time.

        HTH,

                Michael.
