so, this means it does work with the CORBA-based architecture, right? If
so, it should almost work with the non-CORBA-based. For porting the
provider, you'll need:

* use GdaConnection instead of GdaServerConnection
* use GdaRecordset instead of GdaServerRecordset
* use GdaDataModelArray instead of GdaServerRecordsetModel
* add a libmain.c file to the provider which has to contain the
functions that will be called by libgda for each provider:
	const gchar *plugin_get_name (void) -> return "Sybase"
	const gchar *plugin_get_description (void) -> return "A description"
	GList *plugin_get_connection_params (void) -> return a list of the
parameters the provider accepts in the connection string
	GdaServerProvider *plugin_create_provider (void) -> return
gda_sybase_provider_new ();
* remove the GNOME_*.server.in file, not needed anymore
* convert the provider to a library (see providers/postgres/Makefile.am)

And I think that's all. I'll be working on the problem there was on
gda-recordset.c today, so I hope to have everything working perfectly by
the time you submit it.

thanks a lot for your work!
