[gnome-db] Version 2.99.2 version of libgda and libgnomedb



I'm pleased to annouce that the first beta version of
libgda/libgnomedb (version 2.99.2) have been released.

libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing database-oriented
applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase,
SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as
MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.
