components

[Rodrigo Moya <rmoya tsai es>]

Hi all!

I am doing the component part and I want to code a GnomeDbComponent
class which will then be used by the config components as well as the
widgets in gda-clnt-ui (to be used as components as well as widgets).
The first thing I thought was to put this code in gda-clnt-ui, which
seems the best. But:

* are the config components going to use any RDBMS native API?

because, if they are, this causes a doubt, which is: do we want a config
component to depend on both the RDBMS libraries installed and
gda-clnt-ui? Because this will break the current separated design
(servers in one part, and the rest (clients)). If we rely on the
gda-clnt lib to make all accesses to databases, there is no problem, but
if some of the components are to use a specific API...

I'd vote for having the components as gnome-db 'clients', using the
gda-clnt lib for all access to databases. What do you think? What are
the needs you see for your config component?

Cheers
