I'm afraid I don't really know enough to comment much.

It would be nice if you could just use the GnomeDB widgets without
connecting
to the database at all. But I suppose it is handy to connect to the DB
so you
can see the fields in each table etc., and possibly some dummy data.

It gets more complicated if you have multiple developers on the project,
who may be using a central database or may have their own individual
databases.
I don't really know the best way to handle all this.
