I have one of these if you want it. Written using lexer/bision, I was 
planning
on doing some more work on it over the next week or 2.

Can i give you a list of stuff i need from gnome-db? Though it may
break some of your api, mean extra work.  I think most of it would only 
work on
SQL92 compatible databases.  Things like what constraints are set up,
what comments are on fields, tables. what functions exist, what is the 
content
of the function, default values, field types, views, how views 
constructured etc.
