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, for both 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.
