The short answer is it's not possible with Libgnomedb. Note however
it's possible with GTK+ directly but then you'll have to write your
own code.

Also in the past Diego Zuccato proposed (2 years ago, see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-db-list/2006-January/msg00030.html)
to add that feature to Libgda but it was posponed because of the other
tasks to do. Basically all would be required would be to modify the
GdaDataModel interface to add support for hierachical rows, and modify
the GnomeDbDataStore to handle that addition.
