The documentation (gtk-doc) for gda_dict_set_connection states:
"Sets the associated connection to dict. This connection is then used
when the dictionary synchronises itself, and when manipulating data (the
gda_dict_get_handler() method)."
This is ambiguous. I saw two possible meanings for the phrase
"synchronises itself":
1. The dictionary automatically updates itself without any special
effort by the programmer.
2. The dictionary provides a method for updating itself, which the
programmer must call.
Having looked at the source, I believe #1 is incorrect and that the
function which must be called is gda_dict_update_dbms_meta_data. Is
this correct?
If so, I propose that the wording be changed to the following:
"Sets the associated connection to dict. This connection is then used
when the dictionary is synchronised (the
gda_dict_update_dbms_meta_data() method), and when manipulating data
(the gda_dict_get_handler() method)."
