you'll need to look at the MySQL and PostgreSQL docs to see their
respective APIs. look at http://www.mysql.org and www.postgresql.org

you may want to use gnome-db (http://www.gnome-db.org) which offers several
database-oriented widgets, such as a grid, a list, a connection dialog, etc.
And it's totally db-independent. Although, of course, it's for GNOME.
