Just a small additional explanation I had started to draft to answer you:

The GdaServerOperation object can be considered as an object which
stores values associated to named keys (a bit like a hash table) where
the keys are defined by each provider for each type of supported
operation. The provider then takes the GdaServerOperation, fetches the
values associated to keys it needs and performs the action (usually by
creating some SQL and executing it, but it's not always the case).
