There's also a GdaDataModel for this: GdaDataModelImport. Even if you
aren't using any database ideas, I guess you could use that API to get
the data and iterate over it.
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libgda/3.99/GdaDataModelImport.html

I don't use it in Glom just because it doesn't do progressive reading -
it reads all the data at once.
