Ok, but it is fair to say that it is not supported in all PEAR-DB
backends even if it is just a limitation of PHP Interbase API.
Maybe sometime later somebody adds a ibase_affected_rows() function, but
PHP scripts can't assume that the function exists because the PHP
version that is installed may not have such function yet.
I suggest that somebody apply that patch and PHP scripts that use
function_exists() function to figure if PHP Interbase API can figure the
number of affected rows.
