you should better use:

GdaTable *table;

table = gda_xml_datanase_new_table (database, "airport");

and then use the GdaTable functions (which is a GdaDataModelArray-based
class) to populate the data and the fields description. GdaTable is just
another GdaDataModel, but it allows the storage of more information
about each field.

hm, what version of libgda are you using?

About the permission problem, I think it is also fiuxed in latest libgda
versions.
