It is a long value, but its contents are not yet specified. This is one of
the values that is missing, so what suggestions you've got for this type?
What should it contain?

You've got the GnomeDbBrowser widget, which does not only shows tables, but
procedures, views, types, ... any object present in the database. It is a bit
ugly right now, but I'll be improving it very soon.

What we were talking about bonobo is to provide a component which will be
inserted in a BonoboContainer, and which will allow to config the underlying
database (that is, create data sources for THIS database, add users, grant
permissions, ....)
