libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing
database-oriented applications, and currently allow access to PostgreSQL,
MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS
SQL server, as well as MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.
libgda/libgnomedb are the base of the database support in the GNOME
Office application suite, providing database access for many features in
both Gnumeric and Abiword.
1.3.0 is the first development release of the 1.3 series, which will lead to 2.0.
The main changes are the merge of libmergeant (from mergeant) and libgnomedb into
a single library, which gives libgnomedb a lot of cool features like a data
dictionary, widgets to modify data very easily and other neat things.
