As far as I know, this is only implemented for PostgreSQL at the moment.

I have CCed gnome-db-list. Maybe someone there can say when the libgda
MySQL provider will support iterator-based GdaDataModels, or how you
might implement that.

Sorry, I also don't have any clue about your SQL syntax error. If
possible, I suggest you file a libgda bug about it, ideally with a C
test case.
