Well, the buggy areas are mainly on the libgda-server. So, you can
concentrate on adding all the missing things, which are mainly:

* schemas: look at the documentation. There you'll find explanations on
which data you must return for each schema. And look at the postgres
provider for an example on how this is done. This is the most important
thing.
* type mapping: I've added mappings for some MySQL types to GDA types,
but some are missing
* speed: I don't know why, but it seems a bit slower right now
