GVariant values are for constant values. You'll notice that there are no
g_variant_set_*() functions here:
http://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-GVariant.html

But libgda is an API that lets you set values in a database as well as
read them out. So I don't think GVariant makes sense for libgda, just as
it doesn't make sense for GtkTreeView.
