Thanks. I can wait for the next release. I copied the headers from the
source tarball, and commented out the functions in pygda which require
the non-exported libgda functions.

Using the libgda DLL additionally requires libdb47.dll (bdb). I think
this is because GdaDataModelBdb is in the core libgda DLL, not in the
BDB provider. Is there a reason for this?

Yes, GdaDataModelBdb is in Libgda because it is meant to be subclassed to be adapted to the actual data being stored in each BDB file. I understand your concern about linking with the libdb.dll (or .so) even though it is not actually used if no BDB file is accessed, and mabe I can try to load it only when needed (using GModule).
