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.
This is another development release in the road to 1.2, which will be
the next stable release, and which shows a preview of the new features
getting into the 1.2 final release. It is not intended for production
use, but by people wanting to experiment with the new features and to
help on the development. We are though trying to have these 1.1.x series as
stable as possible, so things should not break too much :-)
