gnome-db team

[Rodrigo Moya <rmoya tsai es>]

Hi all!

We've successfully, after some months, completed the gnome-db team for
the moment. Right now, we're in a position I wanted some time ago, that
is, there is one person for each provider, so now I can go on holidays
for a couple of years, until you reach the 1.0 version....

No, I'm not going anywhere without gnome-db, so now I want to
concentrate on the rest of gnome-db = lots of bonobo, client libs,
gda-builder....

So, here's the presentation so that you know each other. That's the
team:

Stephan Heinze <stephan.heinze@xcom.de> - oracle
Vivien Malerba <malerba@linuxave.net> - postgres
Nick Gorham <nick@lurcher.org> - ODBC
Chris Wiegand <cwiegand@urgentmail.com> - MySQL
Cédric & another guy (sorry, don't remember your names/addresses) -
GnomeDbReport

I'm also talking with a Spanish guy who has written some (quite good)
articles about GNOME/CORBA programming, as he wants to help us on the
bonobo/CORBA part. He's studying the code to start as soon as possible.

So, I'd like to start defining the config component stuff. The bonobo
part is clear, isn't it? We'll code a sample bonobo control which will
just include a container widget created by each of the providers' config
component. My idea about what the component will do is that it should do
whatever you want (and can). That is, the ODBC widget will be just a DSN
configurator, as the windows version does, but the oracle provider can,
for example, allow the creation of users, databases, ... management of
tablespaces, quotas, etc, and any other provider whatever is possible
with the underlying database. What do you think?

Also, I'd like all of the providers' people to say your opinion about
the interface in the servers, the missing schemas (this is very
important), .... because as we're starting to have several stable
providers, I don't want to add more and more providers if the design
does not fit any kind of data source.

BTW Chris, did you get my mail about the CVS account?
