Sorry for the late reply. The ability to pass connection attributes in db handle
calls seems to be DBD dependent, and does not seem to be implemented by DB2. In
any case the test is now fixed[1], and will get into the next official maintenance
release (which *fingercross* should happen in a week or so). The second part of
your question is fixed too[2]. In any case 08010 is still fine to use, all failing
tests are due to defficiences in the tests themselves, not problems with the dbic
library.
