Have you tried GNOME Data Access to use SQLite and other DBMS without modify your code?

See at:

and

Hope you take some time to see it.

And now GDA is improving its usage from GObjectIntrospection[1] to use gracefully from languages other than C, like Python and _javascript_!!!

Indeed! I am actually very fond of libgda.. In fact, I contributed a set
 of vapi bindings that were even included in a release. (A long time ago) Not to mention, Vivien has also closed a ticket or two for me regarding the Oracle drivers. (also a long time ago) So, very familiar with it, in fact.. :D

The tool I'm 
making now is extremely small/light
 weight (console app) and gda is a bit overkill. In fact, now that I have it working, 
my next step is to try and actually port it to the posix or 
dova (vala) profile. Getting glib/gda and their dependencies installed on our servers is going to be a challenge. (politically) So the fewer dependencies, the better..

Glad to hear the GObjectIntrospection is coming along w/ libgda.. I've 
been too busy to continue my work on my libgda application, which means 
the vala bindings too. One of these days I hope to get back to it though.

Appreciate the response!
