Hi Pratik,

Firstly, sorry for the delayed response. I some how missed on this  
reply.

Coming to the issue, that you have pointed out, yes this feature is  
taken up as one of the priority issues. As said on the forum we will,  
going forward, have this supported in ibm\_db adapter.

Thanks

Praveen
