the XML query API is complete, but is not being used yet. The XML
database format is basicly working, although only for tables.

I am working on the XML format and on doing a default provider based on
that format (XML).

Gonzalo is working on the SQL parser, which will be used by this default

completing all the XML format, finishing the XML report, and, most

You've got a draft Vivien wrote about the XML query stuff in
http://www.gnome-db.org/docs/.

For XML database, gda-xml-database.[ch] is the only documentation.

For the report stuff, you can have a look at the DTD
(libgda/report/gda-report.dtd).
