I am now confused... When you connect to a DSN we do not yet know how to 
support you should see something similar to this: [1]. However you 
claimed you saw this exception [2].

I thought you were asking about Ingres... ? In any case a DBIC Storage 
driver is a set of overrides for abnormal behavior exhibited by 
different RDBMS engines. For example this is a not too hateful RDBMS 
[3]. And this is a very hateful one [4].

Hope this information helps, because what you gave us so far is quite 
confusing.
