I'm doing a quick extra release because I imagine that the effects of using an implicitly-declared function could be odd. libgda 2.99.4, 2007-02-12 - GdaQuery: Renamed gda_query_is_modif_query() to gda_query_is_modify_query(). (Murray Cumming) - GdaQueryFieldValue: Added the is_parameter property (Daniel Espinosa) - GdaEntityField: Renamed get_data_type() vfunc to get_dict_type(). (Daniel Espinosa) - GdaQueryField: Renamed get_data_type() vfunc to get_dict_type(). (Daniel Espinosa) - GdaObject: Added the option for GdaObject sub-classes to copy the "name" property to the "id" one if the "id" is not set (used by the GdaParameter object) (Vivien Malerba) - GdaDataModelQuery: - Correctly detect when it's not possible to get information about columns. - Added a "use_transaction" property to allow the object to start a transaction before running the modification SQL queries and to end it afterwards (so all the modifications are atomic). (Vivien Malerba) - GdaDataModel: Added "reset" signal, emitted when the data model has completely changed. (Vivien Malerba) - GdaDataProxy: - Added "re_init_done" signal, emitted when the proxied data model's number of columns changes. - Corrected a bug which prevented any modification to be applied to the proxied data model. - Added gda_data_proxy_get_n_modified_rows(). (Vivien Malerba) - Improvements to _new() functions for language bindings, such as C++: GdaParameterList, (Johannes Schmid, Openismus) - Make type checks more flexible, allowing use of derived GTypes by language bindings: (Armin Burgmeier, Openismus) - Use enum types instead of guint or gulong for flags, matching the conventions used in GTK+, and making the API clearer: GdaQuery, GdaObjectRef (Murray Cumming, Openismus) - Use specific types for property and signal parameter registrations, and use specific signal marshallers. This should be more robust, and is needed by language bindings. (Murray Cumming, Openismus) - Correct all remaining installation location conflicts with libgda 1.2. (Leonardo Boshell) - Correct the check for the gamin version. (Leonardo Boshell) - gda-sharp (mono bindings) updated. (Daniel Espinosa) - Added tests. (Vivien Malerb) - Win32 build improvements.

(Min Sik Kim, Bug #382933) - GdaConfig: Handle the GDA_DSN_LIST_IN_MEMORY environment variable. When defined, initial DSN list will be loaded from the filename specified in that environment variable, and the DSN list modifications will not be written to a file. (Vivien Malerba) - GdaQueryFieldValue: can now render parameters in SQL with the :param_name syntax, as used by Oracle. (Vivien Malerba) - GdaBlobOp: New object, for improved blob handling. (Vivien Malerba) - GdaQuarkList: gda_quark_list_add_from_string(): Prevent a crash when the connection string has a final ; character. (Andrea Zagli, Bug #317831) - GdaQuery: - Allow use of derived types, for language bindings. (Armin Burgmeier) - Avoid memory corruption. (Chris Shoemaker, Bug #341061) - GdaQueryFieldField: The field_name property is now readable. (Vivien Malerba) - GdaServerProvider: - Added the escape_string() and unescape_string() virtual methods.

GNU Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to different
|
|
kinds of data sources (databases, information servers, mail spools, etc).
|
|
It is a complete architecture that provides all you need to access your
|
|
data. It is defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as generic as possible
|
|
(but very powerful at the same time) so that any kind of data source
|
|
can be accessed through them.
|
|
|
|
Libgda is an interface to the GDA architecture, providing a nice wrapper
|
|
around the CORBA interfaces, both for the client and the server parts. It
|
|
also provides a bunch of tools to help you both in the development and
|
|
management of your data sources, all done through the GDA model's set of
|
|
CORBA interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project, but has been separated from it
|
|
to allow non-GNOME applications to be developed based on it.
