I had not noticed there were so many objects in the gda lib (I always
work with the providers). I'll have a look because this will he helpfull
in gASQL.

Do you mean Sunday the 5th or the 12th?

All right. I just have to commit the latest changes (UI stuff and a memory leak
bug fix) and gASQL should work with the CVS version of Gnome-DB/Libgda.
I expected to name this version 0.6.1, but maybe it would be better to name
it with sth related to the Gnome-DB numbering. So for this version I propose
gASQL V0.6-0.2.11: replacing the last digit with the version number of Gnome-DB (using
0.2.11 would have made a smaller version number, which would have been confusing).
Then when Gnome-DB reaches the 0.7 versions, we can have gASQL with the same version
numbers.

For gASQL, I will provide the source tarball and a Mandrake 8.0 RPM.
