After a long time, I'm pleased to announce the first version of Libgda
which will lead to a V4. This version is a major rework of the
library's internals to correct the conception errors that were made
with previous versions; it also aims at having a smaller yet more
powerfull and easier to understand API, and to close some long
standing bugs.
A non detailled list of changes is:
- Easier to understand and to use API, with less strange path usage
- Reduce the size of the library (almost half the size and half the symbols)
- Easier connection opening (removal of the GdaClient object)
- Merge of the GdaQuery and GdaCommand into only one object to
represent statements
- New adaptative SQL parser (can be adaptated to each DBMS's SQL syntax)
- New database based dictionary which can handle namespaces
- Rework of the database adaptators (providers) for easier
maintenance and more features
- Sample "skeleton" database adaptators to make it easy to write a
database adaptator for a new
database type
- Updated documentation
A few warnings however:
- This is still an early version which probably has a lot of bugs and
as such it should not be used
in a production environment.
- Most of the database adaptators (providers) need to be re-written,
particularly MySQL (which is
currently being done) and Oracle
- Libgnomedb has not yet been updated and won't compile with this version
Tarballs are available at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgda/3.99/
To install this new version, you'll need glib, libxml2, and
optionnally libxslt; this version can be installed side by side with
the V3 version.
You can find more information at the projects' homepage
(http://www.gnome-db.org), or you can ask any question/propose
anything you want in the GNOME-DB mailing list, which is available at
