[gnome-db] GDA+Vala - Merging Request or Feedback

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

I've reached a milestone on libgda-vala branch.

a) An usable GObject used as a persisten DataBase object. Actually it
takes a table and condition to search a row; you can modify, update
and save. Is intended as base class for others.

b) I've created a GObject that takes a GdaDataModel and allows to
iterate using foreach instructions in Vala. Iterates per value and you
can now the row and column this value come from. Its a concept, but
you can filter and chop (a range of values) using Gee constructions
and Vala.

The branch creates a new library called libgdadata, builds GObject
Introspection and VAPI bindings. Have Unit Tests.

Could any give some feedback around this objects and may be some ideas
or feature requests?

I can create a GdaDataSelect derived object, written in pure Vala as
an extension in order to make Vala programming a piece of cake. Even
GDA can get advantage of Vala future for GObject based libraries,
because much less code to write. Just an idea. I plan to add more
features in libgdadata library as far as I can.

All Autotools infrastructure is in place, then could be very easy to
add new objects and test them. For now Vala is a soft dependency and
libgdadata is built using --enable-vala-extensions=yes switch.

I you agree, I can merge this branch as soon as approved.
