Sterling might be able to answer that. Last I heard the Microsoft ODBC
API was so inconsistent and buggy (no surprise, really, coming from
Microsoft) that it is rather difficult to get it to work fully reliably
at all across all versions and drivers. Adding non-blocking support would
really be pushing it. I would like to see it, but it is probably not a
priority any time soon.

Direct support for PostgresSQL is planned. DB2: I don't know. I don't
think we have had any requests.

The conclusion was that REBOL's FastCGI handler has the same capabilities
as all others (perl etc.), except that the inofficial Windows pipe hack
is not supported. Considering how much trouble that hack has caused for
applications that support it, not supporting it yet may be a Good Thing.
I don't intend to make any functional changes at this time. REBOL
FastCGI works well the way it is. Windows pipe support MAY be added later,
if it becomes widely used and stable across Windows versions.
