I'm planning to create an implementation of interfaces to access a
database with classes and interfaces from Gee.

This thread is planned to collect comments, suggestions and track
implementations. May be I can add a link on live.gnome.org when I have
something functional and solid plans.

First Concepts:

* A database is a collection of schemas and other objects
* Each schema have a collection of tables, views and other objects
that have Rows
* A Row is a collection of values with different types and with
attributes like: PRIMARY KEY, NAME, TYPE, VALUE, REFERENCEDBY,
REFERENCE
* REFERENCEBY and REFERENCE attributes can be used to get a collection
of related values from other table collection


First implementation ideas:

* Define Interfaces and implementator classes , like Gee does, to
allow any one to access any kind of data. For now current GDA's
infrastructure will be used.

Libgda reports all this information in a GdaMetaStruct object.
